| The Mighty Miami Vandals A Scrapbook of the Arizona 1950-51 Miami High School Basketball Team By Wilfred “Sonny” Gomez Pena Introduction by Christine Marin, Ph.D. A revolutionary coach and a mighty squad makes history for a small Arizona mining town. "Readers should know that Sonny Peña’s book is more than a collection of news clippings. Instead, it is a work of love for the game of basketball and an admiration for Coach Ernie Kivisto and his “dream team”. Peña’s book captures a time and place when a copper town came together in 1950-51 for the sake of basketball and good and decent play and to marvel at a coach whose team perfected and mastered the fast break on offense and the full court press on defense. Teachers, students, parents and local civic leaders through the state of Arizona supported the Vandals and their coach. If you listen closely, you can hear their cheering and shouts of excitement throughout the pages of The Mighty Miami Vandals: a Scrapbook of the Arizona 1950-51 Miami High School Championship Basketball Team."
