If you haven't gotten the book "One small town, one crazy coach.", you need to get it today. Author Mike Roos writes of that season. A must-have for any Indiana High School basketball fan! This recording is the play by play of the 4th quarter of the Sectional Championship game between the Ireland Spuds and the Springs Valley Blackhawks. In the 1963 Huntingburg Indiana Sectional. It was voted by the fans as the 7th most exciting game ever played in the Huntingburg Memorial Gym from 1952 thru 2002. Springs Valley was coached by a young Jim Jones (In the IBHOF now) and Ireland was coached by the Wizard (as the papers would call him back then), Coach Pete Gill. The play by play announcer is the late Jack Brandt from WITZ radio Jasper, Indiana.

Born and raised in the windy city, Chris Michals played shortstop for a community college in Chicago named Oakton. In 2007, his freshman year, he was overridden by a division 1 transfer and often found himself on the bench as a platoon infielder, despite putting up good numbers. He decided at that point to leave the team and focus on school only to return in 2010. Upon finding that the team was lacking in pitching and talent was still deep in the infield, he quickly taught himself how to pitch. To the shock of his coaches and teammates, Michals not only made the starting rotation, he went 7-0 that season and only had one no-decision on route to leading his team to the 2010 Sectional Championship, sending Oakton Community College to it's first final four in school history. Post college Michals took a job as a baseball instructor. While at work, he discovered the opportunity to play baseball in Europe through a fellow instructor who had just returned from a stint playing pro ball in Slovakia. Michals was at first skeptical about the idea of playing baseball in Slovakia but after a few months he found himself intrigued and soon signed a contract to play with the Trnava Angels of Slovakia for the upcoming 2012 season.
