Remember the Converse shoes, short shorts, striped socks? The cheerleaders in long-sleeved sweaters and skirts, knee socks and saddle shoes? When winning a sectional felt like winning state for many small teams — and then one small team really did win it all?
Relive the greatest moments in Indiana high school basketball with IndyStar's new hardcover, commemorative pictorial book History of Our Hysteria: Indiana High School Basketball, documenting our abiding love affair with the game. Between the Indianapolis News and the Indianapolis Star, we've covered every state championship since the first one in 1911. We have documented the Indiana game from its birth in Crawfordsville in 1894 to the Milan Miracle in 1954 and the resurgence of Crispus Attucks in 2017.
