In this engaging young adult novel, Elizabeth “Woodsie” Pound, a tough, dedicated, basketball guard of Chickasaw heritage, tells a story of trials, triumph, and tragedy. 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.
