The Miracle of St. Anthony A Season with Coach Bob Hurley and Basketball's Most Improbable Dynasty Hardback - 2005

by Adrian Wojnarowski

On the mean streets of Jersey City, St. Anthony High School is more than a tiny brick schoolhouse it is a beacon of hope. Though the school constantly teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, it is held together by Felician nuns devoted to helping students overcome the scourges of poverty by preparing them for college educations and a brighter future. And each year from the student body of just over 200, Coach Bob Hurley forges an elite nationally ranked basketball team through hard work, his coaching genius, and the sheer force of his personality. In thirty-one years as a coach, Hurley has won twenty-two state championships, two USA Today national titles, and has sent all of his players to college except for one (including his son Bobby, one of the greatest players in college basketball history). Award-winning sportswriter Adrian Wojnarowski brings the stories of the St. Anthony 2003–2004 season to vivid life, as Hurley struggles to turn a troubled group of players into state champions and national title contenders again while keeping the school he loves alive to continue its educational mission at any cost.


From the publisher

In the tradition of Friday Night Lights comes the riveting and inspiring story of an inner-city basketball team and the fiery coaching genius who leads them to greatness.

First line
