Cinderella Ball: A Look Inside Small-College Basketball in West VirginiaFor most of the twentieth century, West Virginia was a college basketball hotbed. Its major programs were a success, but perhaps even more successful was the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, composed of fifteen schools that rarely earned headlines but set many records and became an identifiable part of small town culture and a source of state pride. This ethos exists today in small town Kentucky and Indiana but struggles to survive
For most of the twentieth century, West Virginia was a college basketball hotbed. Its major programs were a success, but perhaps even more successful was the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, composed of fifteen schools that rarely earned headlines but set many records and became an identifiable part of small town culture and a source of state pride. This ethos exists today in small town Kentucky and Indiana but struggles to survive in West Virginia. Part of the reason is the state's population decline since the 1950s. That, author Bob Kuska argues, along with the rise of cable and satellite TV and the major college basketball empire, stole the thunder--and the crowds--from these small town communities. And yet, these teams play on in obscurity and still find success. Against the backdrop of West Virginia's great small college history, Kuska chronicles the day-to-day struggles and triumphs of one modern school, Alderson-Broaddus College in Philippi, West Virginia. What happened to that team during a rags-to-riches yearlong stretch would've been remarkable at any level, let alone at a school with very low athletic department budgets and low visibility that makes recruiting talented players almost impossible. As he alternates between coaches and players, past and present, Kuska contrasts the fan enthusiasm of the conference's early years with the apathy that plagues the teams of the twenty-first century. If sports fans can get past the media and the madness that has made college basketball increasingly similar to professional basketball in its self-indulgence and sensationalism, they are left with leagues like the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference--scrappy, intelligent, and spirited--and still finding ways to succeed and thrive.Binding Type: Paperback

The body wash I reach for every time and my skin has never felt better
Scent: Fragranced, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have been through a lot of body washes over the years and this Dove Deep Moisture is the one I keep coming back to. The texture is thick and creamy, a little goes a long way, and it rinses clean without leaving any heavy residue behind. After getting out of the shower my skin genuinely feels softer and not dry or tight the way it does with some other washes.
The scent is pleasant and mild, something like a clean, soft powder rather than an artificial floral or chemical smell. It does not linger too long which I actually prefer since heavy fragrances can be irritating. The formula with no sulfates and no parabens makes it a gentler option and I have noticed fewer issues with dry patches since switching to it.
The 30.6 oz size is great for the price and lasts a good while even with daily use. This is just a reliable, high quality everyday body wash that does exactly what it promises. Simple and effective.

Perfect for Sensitive Skin – Gentle, Moisturizing and Long-Lasting
Scent: Fragranced, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
If I could give it 10 stars, I would!
This Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash is absolutely amazing and hands down my favorite Dove body wash so far. The size is large, so it lasts a long time and offers excellent value for the price, especially considering the quality.
The texture is thick and creamy, not watery at all. It spreads very well on the skin and a little goes a long way. The scent is very pleasant, soft, and not overpowering—it actually reminds me of baby powder, which I personally love. It feels clean and comforting, not artificial or strong.
While showering, it feels gentle and luxurious, and after rinsing, my skin feels soft, smooth, and well-hydrated, never dry or tight. This is especially important for me because I have sensitive skin, and this body wash has been perfect.
Dove is an excellent brand, and I’ve tried several of their body washes over the years. This one was also recommended to me by both a dermatologist and a gynecologist, which gave me even more confidence in using it regularly.
Overall, this is an outstanding product. I highly recommend it, especially for anyone with sensitive skin. If you’re looking for a moisturizing, gentle, and high-quality body wash, this one is a must-try.
💙 Super recommended!

Great moisturizing body wash, but the scent takes some getting used to
Scent: Fragranced, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've been using Dove products for years and this body wash does not disappoint when it comes to moisturizing. My skin feels genuinely soft and hydrated after every shower without that tight, dry feeling I get with other cleansers. The no sulfates and no parabens formula is a big plus for me as I've been trying to be more conscious about what goes on my skin. At 30.6 oz it's also a great size that lasts a good while. My only real note is that the scent is a bit different than what I expected — it's not unpleasant but there's a slightly unusual undertone that I couldn't quite put my finger on at first. It took me maybe a week or so of using it before I stopped noticing it. If you're sensitive to scents it might throw you off initially, but it does fade quickly once you're out of the shower. Overall a solid body wash that delivers on the moisture promise — just go in knowing the scent might need a little adjustment period.

Wow, Dove really outdid themselves. Great product.
Scent: Fragranced, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Wow, what a difference what a difference Amazon basic body wash is what I was using before to be honest and it used to be very good. I don’t know if they changed the formula but that formula now it doesn’t lather up. You have to use half the bottle to get it to lather up this one lathers up amazingly well and you only need a few pushes. As a guy, I love it. We have dry skin too, just like anybody else so between moisturizer and lather , the scent the skin protection the skin softeners the whole thing it’s great. And you get a lot of of it too, which is awesome so overall at least to me a great value for the money
