      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In 1962, integrated basketball teams in the South were unheard of, and a mainly all-black team making it to the NCAA Championship game four years later was, well, even more unheard of. But that is exactly what Don Haskins (Lucas) did as head coach at Texas Western University. Unable to recruit the best high-school players, he hits the streets, and, city by city, finds untapped and untrained talent, and takes these men on the Glory Road to a history-making season. Based on a true story. (Jack Kelley)

    Reason #37 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The magazine provides no bull, solid technical information that is truly useful to me. The product reviews are excellent for helping me decide what to purchase. The DVD software reviews also help me to decide what movies are reference quality to add to my collection. I also love that the issues are not stuffed full of advertisements.
