High Stakes Hoops

Elite high school basketball changed the game for one Maryland high school. This documentary tells the story of that school — Bishop Walsh in Cumberland, Maryland — and that team.

The film was made with reporting contributions from Jakob Bowen, Damon Brooks, Joshua Casazza, Travis Chase, Hannah Davidson, Justin Hoagland, Austin Kalt and Emma Shuster, and consulting from Mark Hyman, Kate Yanchulis, Josh Davidsburg, Mark Ciardi and Mike Basone.
