Sinopsis

In the spirit of the movieáHoosiers,áTrumpet Call to Victoryátells the story of a small parochial high school located in the Pennsylvania coalfields that reached the summit of basketball glory in the late 1960s. Glorious victories and heartbreaking defeats are chronicled on Saint Gabriel&rsquo,s path to capturing multiple state championships. Unsung heroes and scholastic superstars take center stage during what, in the last five years of the school&rsquo,s existence, can only be described as a &lsquo,golden age.', The feats of the greatest player in the region&rsquo,s history are chronicled as is the beginning of a career for a coach who arranged to have a young Bobby Knight address his state championship team at the school&rsquo,s sports banquet. That coach, Richard &ldquo,Digger&rdquo, Phelps, recently recalled his first head coaching job in a tweet which read, &ldquo,St. Gabes was my first step to ND. They made it happen.&rdquo,
