There is no other player in the history of Indiana high school basketball more treasured than Bobby Plump.
The Milan High School backcourt ace is known around the world for hitting “The Shot,” a jump-shot made in the final seconds of the 1954 Indiana high school championship game against Muncie Central, 32-30. The Indians, coach Marvin Wood, and “The Shot” were the impetus for the iconic movie “Hoosiers.”
To commemorate the most historic moment in Indiana high school basketball, a new softback book “Special Edition – Bobby Plump: Last of the Small Town Heroes,” is now available for all fans of Hoosier basketball, young and old, to purchase.
