My Home Team: A Sportswriter’s Life and the Redemptive Power of Small-Town Girls’ Basketball – by Dave Kindred

Posted on May 11, 2023 by Mark Lieberman

This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published.

I was only interested in this book, because I read that Dave Kindred was a retired former sportswriter, who moved back home and then decided to write about a local high school girls basketball team. That really intrigued me. I also enjoy reading books about people when those people are writers.

After reading it, this basketball team wasn’t just a basketball team. No, this was a powerhouse and they won state championship’s while he was covering them. I covered a small high school boys basketball team as well, and a lot of the stories and people he met along the way, reminded me of those good ole days for me (minus the championships).

In the beginning of the book, he wrote about how he got started as a newspaper sportswriter and towards the end of the book, he wrote about taking care of his wife till she passed away.
