Maddy Blais’s book “In These Girls, Hope is a Muscle” tells the poignant story of the season when the Amherst High School women’s basketball team won the state championship. In talking about women and sports, and my legal case against baseball, Maddy and I will dip back into my time playing basketball at Amherst High school, years earlier than the team her book profiles, when women’s rules greatly restricted our play. Ours will be a lively talk in South Hadley’s bookstore.
