Bobo Davenport was a down-on-his-luck coach when he arrived at Edmonson County High School in August 1975. In his 25-year career, none of Bobo's teams had ever made it to the Kentucky state tournament. His new team, the Edmonson County Wildcats, had never before advanced to the state tournament either. In Bobo's first year, Edmonson County, a small, rural high school near Mammoth Cave National Park, shocked the commonwealth in the most thrilling state tournament in history. Mammoth Miracle follows Bobo from his roots as a star high school player, to his early successes at Clarkson High School, through his disappointments and his termination at Grayson County, and his redemption at Edmonson County. Bobo's Edmonson County squad overcame long odds to end atop some of the most talented teams in Kentucky's storied high school basketball history. Based on interviews of participants, archival records and newspaper accounts, Mammoth Miracle celebrates the 50th anniversary of Edmonson County's run to the state title.
