This is the story of an underdog women's basketball team from a small religious college during the Great Depression. Coached by the one-legged son of a preacher, the Cardinals of Oklahoma Presbyterian College took on the best amateur teams in the country, including the historically successful Texas Golden Cyclones and their leader, future Olympian Babe Didrikson. Unfortunately, the writing can be frustrating, despite the absorbing subject matter, with questionable scene re-creations that at times lapse into hagiography—the author is the coach's grand-niece. The reading by Virginia Wolf is adequate, but at times her attempts at accents grates. VERDICT This is a fascinating history of a very different sports world that can't help but draw the listener in, despite its flaws. Recommended for fans of women's sports, history, Southern stories, and, of course, Sooners fans.
