story of the 1951 championship Mighty Vandals high school basketball
team. Three years before the U.S. Supreme Court ended racial
segregation in the public schools, a team of predominantly Mexican
American teens living in Miami, Arizona goes undefeated and clinches
the state championship. The Southeastern Arizona mining town of Miami
is the kind of place that people usually leave if they expect to make
it big. Not in 1951.
