We Grow Basketball Here: Crispus Attucks

The third episode of the We Grow Basketball Here documentary series is a two-part episode exploring the rich basketball history and historical significance of Crispus Attucks High School.

Part 1, which premiered Thursday in celebration of Black History Month, tells of the history and legacy of the 1955 Crispus Attucks High School basketball team. The team's state championship holds a significant place in basketball history, but their accomplishments are also a story of resilience and hope.

On the hardwood, Crispus Attucks emerged as one of the top basketball programs in the state under head coach Ray Crowe, who took over the program in 1950.
