"The Highest Ceiling" is the true story of a small town high school basketball team that stunned opponents, dazzled spectators, and captured a state championship by imitating the Harlem Globetrotters and beating big-city schools along the way. It's about a group of boys sharing their coach's dream of winning the state tournament and about how they worked together to make their dream come true. The year was 1952, a time in American life when indoor plumbing and electricity were luxuries in small rural communities like Cuba, Kentucky, and hardships and sacrifice were a way of life.
