In 1986, Hoosiers came out telling a story of Indiana high school basketball in the 1950s. It ends with a buzzer-beating shot by Hickory's star player, Jimmy Chitwood.

What you might not know is that the movie is based off a true story of a star player who took a last-second shot for small Milan (Indiana) High School in the 1954 state championship game. His name was Bobby Plump.
