What if I told you…
that in a small steel town along the Susquehanna River…
where the Bethlehem Steel-mill once roared and smoke filled the sky…
a fire was being forged
Not the relentless fire that filled the steel hearths that built a nation that sits idle.
but the fire of playground ambition, of hardwood dreams, squeaking sneakers, and bouncing balls.
What if I told you…
that from one square mile…
came players who didn’t just dream about the NCAA Tournaments…
They earned their way into them.
What if I told you the Steel-High Rollers not only had 5 players dance in March.
But players leading teams to the Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final Four and National Championship Game.
This is the story of those that went from Cottage Hill, Highspire, The East Side and 2nd Street all the way to the hallowed record books of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
With rumors of the steel industry being reignited swirling around town, could the NCAA Tournament linage be rekindled as well?
Who’s Next?
