Summary:
This one-hour Iowa Public Television documentary takes a look back at girls' 6-on-6 basketball and what it meant to generations of young women who played it. One of the most acclaimed sports in Iowa history, 6-on-6 was especially popular in small towns. It was there that young women became queens of the court, where communities rallied behind their daughters, and where school leaders -- mostly male -- fought for girls' equality. Like nowhere else in the country, young women in Iowa have played the game of basketball for over a century.
