The PHL in
the STL (The DVD)
Dear
Basketball Fans,
In December
of 2007, we presented you with a once-in-a-lifetime trip down
memory lane with the new basketball publication, “The PHL in the
STL. The Public High League: A St. Louis Basketball Legacy.
If you
enjoyed the book, you are really going to love this upcoming DVD
production of this special look at Public High League Basketball
history. With the video expertise of my partner Travis Harder of
T.J. Redbird Production, we are now able to bring the history of
the Public High League to life in the form of this ground-breaking
two-hour DVD. It was one thing to tell you about the history of
this great league in a book, but now we can show you what the PHL
was all about in this rare, never-been-done-before historical
video compilation.
We have
been able to collect rare video footage of more than 100 former
Public High greats from as far back as the 1940’s and 50’s all the
way up to today’s present-day era of young basketball stars. We
have combined this great video footage with many tremendous still
images to bring you one powerhouse foray into the history of one
of the St. Louis area’s great basketball leagues. We will take you
through nine decades of PHL basketball excellence, accompanied
with the music of the times and the narration of yours truly.
Come
re-live some of the great exploits of PHL greats such as the early
dominance of Cleveland’s Bob Ferry and Beaumont’s Fred Kovar and
Robert Koch in the 1940’s and 50’s, the explosive quickness of
Beaumont’s Jimmy “Bowhead” Irving in the 60’s, the high-flying
exploits of David Thirdkill and Johnny Parker in the 70’s, the
ball-handling wizardry of Darryl “Pee Wee” Lenard and his Central
High scoring machine of 1981, the dominance of the 1988 Vashon
Wolverines and the girls basketball dynasties of Gateway Tech and
Metro in recent years. We have it all in video and much, much
more.
To whet you
appetite of what is inside this DVD presentation, we have put
together this 20-minute special preview of the “The PHL in the STL”
for you view pleasure. It is now available for viewing on this
website.
I hope
everyone enjoys this special presentation as much as we enjoyed
putting it together.
Enjoy
