Three years ago I watched a PBS documentary about the high school basketball team in tiny Medora, Indiana.
The team had not won a game in several seasons and lost most by wide margins. The producers followed the team until it finally won one.
While most viewers may have regarded this as simply a fascinating sports documentary, what concerned me then (and now) was the root cause of the decline of this team and the town it represented.
The program had flashbacks to the ‘50s and ‘60s when the town was prosperous and the high school had many more students.
