Nearly half of all American high school students participate in sports teams. With a total of 7.6 million participants as of 2008, this makes the high school sports program in America the largest organized sports program in the world. Pruter’s work traces the history of high school sports from the student-led athletic clubs of the 1800s through to the establishment of educator control of high school sports under a national federation by the 1930s. Pruter’s research serves not only to highlight this rich history but also to provide new perspectives on how high school sports became the arena by which Americans fought for some of the most contentious issues in society, such as race, immigration and Americanization, gender roles, religious conflict, the role of the military in democracy, and the commercial exploitation of our youth.

Rooting for the Home Team examines how various American communities create and maintain a sense of collective identity through sports. Looking at large cities such as Chicago, Baltimore, and Los Angeles as well as small rural towns, suburbs, and college towns, the contributors consider the idea that rooting for local athletes and home teams often symbolizes a community's preferred understanding of itself, and that doing so is an expression of connectedness, public pride and pleasure, and personal identity. Some of the wide-ranging essays point out that financial interests also play a significant role in encouraging fan bases, and modern media have made every seasonal sport into yearlong obsessions. Celebrities show up for big games, politicians throw out first pitches, and taxpayers pay plenty for new stadiums and arenas. The essays in Rooting for the Home Team cover a range of professional and amateur athletics, including teams in basketball, football, baseball, and even the phenomenon of no-glove softball. Contributors are Amy Bass, Susan Cahn, Mark Dyreson, Michael Ezra, Elliott J. Gorn, Christopher Lamberti, Allison Lauterbach, Catherine M. Lewis, Shelley Lucas, Daniel A. Nathan, Michael Oriard, Carlo Rotella, Jaime Schultz, Mike Tanier, David K. Wiggins, and David W. Zang.

"Three Points Shy" is the season-long journey of one of the greatest high school basketball teams in the history of Seminole County, Florida. Coached by skilled tactician and savvy motivator Bill Payne, and led by seniors Bruce McCray, Reggie Butler, David Thomas, Keith Whitney, and Glenn Stambaugh, the Fighting Seminoles of Sanford, FL., would punctuate their record-breaking season with a 1979-80 run at Florida's Class 4A State Basketball Championship. Their journey would be filled with a combination of dominating wins, last-second heroics, mid-season heartache, and final stretch redemption. Along the way, there would be holiday tournament championship trophies and three incredible showdowns with the one team that stood in their way of making it to the Lakeland Civic Center's Final Four-Daytona Beach Mainland. Rarely were two high school teams who played in the same conference ranked among the state's top 5 in Florida's High School Prep Polls. And each of the three meetings between Seminole and Daytona Beach Mainland would provide for a roller coaster ride of emotions, soul-crushing shortcomings, and ultimately a decisive measure of Sanford High's heart and mettle as a basketball team. Fighting Seminoles would capture and carry the hopes of their small Central Florida town through a gritty season of winning streaks, setbacks, and comebacks. And along the way, the story of their starters and reserves on the bench would play out on the sports pages of The Sanford Herald, the local paper that chronicled each step of their journey. They would break school records and total the most victories ever in a single season of high school basketball in Seminole County. At times, they would have their hearts broken as well. And there would be heart-warming sacrifices from unsuspected sources as part of their journey. "Three Points Shy" is an enjoyable read for anyone even remotely connected to high school sports programs. It provides a game-by-game insight into the success, failure, and character of student-athletes who don the uniforms of their respective teams to represent their schools and communities. And it is a testament to the coaches who lead them and the fans who follow them.
