Coming in 2009… (Date and location to be announced)The Mighty Vandals by James E. GarciaThe 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.
