Late 1930’s Bill Hook Milan High School

The Legendary Milan High School Indians: A Piece of Basketball History

An Unforgettable Triumph

In the annals of basketball history, the 1954 Milan High School Indians stand as a beacon of triumph against all odds. With an enrollment of merely 161 students, this small Indiana school achieved the extraordinary by clinching the state high school basketball championship. Their victory remains unparalleled, as they became the smallest school ever to win a single-class state basketball title in Indiana. This remarkable feat inspired the beloved 1986 film Hoosiers, immortalizing their legacy in popular culture.
