Titles For Our Town
Author Brad Huebner will discuss his book, “Titles For Our Town,” which documents three small-town basketball dynasties, including Kutztown High under John Silan. See how tiny boroughs managed to win multiple state titles during the golden age. That was when future basketball titans like Dream Team coach Chuck Daly, Nike guru Sonny Vaccaro, Final Four announcer Billy Packer, Kentucky coach John Calipari, and many others began to impact Dr. Naismith's great game. See how those who studied under John Silan would go on to success coaching at Albright College, Alvernia University, and Muhlenberg College. Books will be available for purchase and autographs.
