One Shot Short is a fun historical read about a very special basketball team and their beloved coach, and it is a reminder that lessons on the court prove to shape young people and set their paths to success. These 10 men are examples of how teamwork and a caring adult make a difference in the lives of student athletes. Finley King - Principal, Chattanooga Central High School Jerry Summers' story of his high school basketball team, all over-achievers, is inspiring. Had that shot gone in, I don't believe it would have changed much at all. All of those guys were destined to be successful. Randy Smith - Sports Broadcast Journalist and member of the Tennessee Journalism Hall of Fame One Shot Short is living proof that true champions don't always win the gold ball. How can a single missed shot spawn unsurpassed influence, be the foundation of a life-long camaraderie, and positively impact a multitude of Americans? This book is special beyond any scoreboard! Rick Rogers - Chattanooga Central High School Basketball Coach Today we are taught that winning is everything, but the Purple Pounders' reign in all sports taught the City of Chattanooga differently over 50 years ago. One Shot short is among Summers' best works because he doesn't anguish over the great City-Central games, the tough oppon-ents, or the demanding practices, as much as he regales us when high school sports were played only for The Love of the Game.
