Forever's Team - Hardcover

YA-- Members of the Duke University basketball team of 1977-78 were recruited, entered Duke, and, after extraordinary success as a team, they parted. Many have faced personal adversity, however, and their special camaraderie lives on. This is their story, told by a former newspaper sports writer in a crisp, journalistic style. Young adult readers are sure to identify with the recruitment and decision process shared by many college-bound students. The importance of sports is put in perspective by the view of the jocks' after-college life. A wide audience will enjoy this book. --Carolyn Henebry, Harris County Public Library, Houston

The coaches and players of Duke University's 1977-78 team, who ended an otherwise successful season with their NCAA championship loss to Kentucky, are traced from their time on the squad to their present occupations. "Granted the dubious premise that this almost-winning team is a reasonable subject for a book, this is a good study of boys becoming men," remarked PW.
