What's right with college sports? Welcome to Berea College, where every student-athlete goes to class and works at a college job. Berea is famous for providing educational opportunities for the youth of Southern Appalachia. And while Berea has never granted athletic scholarships, its Mountaineer athletic teams have competed strongly while forging a tradition of brotherhood, sportsmanship, and purity of purpose. B For Berea is narrated by over 100 student-athletes who played significant varsity basketball minutes while earning Berea College degrees. What motivated these individuals to come to Berea? What did they aspire to, and what did they achieve? What was it like to be a Berea College athlete, a Berea College student, and finally, a Berea College graduate?
The only book ever written about Berea College students, B For Berea tells a compelling story that will fascinate sports fans and anyone who wants to know more about a noble and unique institution.
In Volume 2, Back to the Mountaintop, the program recaptures and surpasses its former glory while continuing to graduate outstanding citizens. Take an inside look at NAIA Hall of Fame coach Roland Wierwille and the men he led and influenced!
