ST. MARTIN, Mississippi It was Feb. 20, 1968.
Now the retired St. Martin Hall of Fame coach and athletic director, Mike Perkins was then a senior high school basketball player in his native Arkansas, about to play in the local district tournament.
When Perkins took the floor, one of the officials was Joe Barlow, who had been Perkins’ coach for the previous five years before Barlow moved into administration prior to Perkins’ senior year. But Barlow had begun officiating games to remain close to the sport he loved.
As the game began, Barlow knew something Perkins didn’t. In route to the gymnasium, Perkins’ mother, father and younger brother had been killed in a car accident. The decision had been made by the adults to keep Perkins in the dark until after the game.

It’s a genre that’s getting more mainstream as time passes, though it still has to struggle against perceptions of being niche, against passionate legacy communities who can’t agree on what they want, and against various trends that arise within the industry which either aren’t compatible with the genre, or distract developers as they try to capture some of the lucrative magic seen elsewhere.

There are a lot of similarities between Powers and the main character, however, the character is not solely based on him. Joe definitely reflects a lot of elements of who I am. But to say I m Joe, no, because there are elements of a lot of different peoples lives on the creative team that are reflected in Joe. I think some of my elements are the most obvious. Of course, being middle-aged Black man from New York City, who goes on the artist journey of Joe is incredibly familiar, says Powers.
