GREENFIELD — How did basketball become Indiana’s game? Historian Chandler Lighty will discuss the emergence of the game and trace the sport’s growth through the birth of “Hoosier Hysteria” at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Hancock County Public Library, 900 W. McKenzie Road. Lighty will focus, in particular, on the first eight high school state championship teams, which all came from the tri-county area of Montgomery, Boone, and Tippecanoe counties. If you think the story of Milan’s ’54 championship is something, then don’t miss hearing about tiny Wingate’s back-to-back championships of 1913 and 1914. Register to attend at hcplibrary.org.
