He spoke not a word of English when he entered the first grade. He was beaten and whipped as a young boy and abandoned by his mother before age twelve. He survived one of the most horrific experiences a man could endure with the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, and then led a band of six small Mexican Americans on a rampage through the Arizona state high school basketball championship tournament in 1947. With so many hardships early in life, how is it that he could achieve so much before the age of twenty? This is an inspirational story of determination, character, and grace under fire. It is the story of a young man who simply would not accept defeat ... by ANYTHING or ANYONE.
