Description
"Woodsie Pound didn't have it easy. Youngest of four sisters, a Chickasaw living in the Great Depression, and driven to be the best guard in the nation, her biggest opponent was a world that fought against her and everything she was. Based on the true account of a small, but record-setting Oklahoma women's college team, 88 Straight, follows Woodsie from her instant passion for basketball through the confusions and anxieties of a young and dedicated life, family tensions and tragedies, and the discovery of her Chickasaw heritage."
