David Butler, Jacquelynn Leonard, Juan Figueroa and Andrew J. Parker could not be reached for comment.

Bobby Plump will be there. Yes, Bobby Plump. For those few deprived Americans who did not see the movie Hoosiers, Bobby is the kid who made the shot in the final seconds that won the state championship for Milan, the smallest Indiana town (pop. 1,000) ever to achieve the title.
