Dream Season: My Brother Gary and the 1957 Ashland Panthers

Dream Season is the true story of Gary Pearn's senior year of high school playing basketball in the small farm community of Ashland, Illinois, and of his teammates and 18 classmates who were all seniors in 1957. Gary, the author’s brother, played guard; the other guard was his teammate Jerry Conner.
