On March 17, 1984, the McLeansboro Foxes completed a dream season by winning the Illinois Class A State Title and finishing 35-0. This book tells the stories about not only the games but also the stories behind the scenes that caused the entire community in Hamilton County and even southern Illinois to follow this team by the thousands.

Ninety-three-year-old Will Morgan remembers December 21, 1944, like it was yesterday. Now a widower and alone with his torment, how can he tell it? If not for a chance meeting with a younger man named Jack Owens, Will's haunting account would surely die with him. Not every soldier fought through Battle of the Bulge or lived to tell the tale-one that Will has sworn to secrecy. What happened on that ridge was one thing, but what Will sees as his own personal failure is another. Can he finally reveal the one heartache he never shared with anyone, one he has carried for so long?
