The Last Shot

Darcy Frey

“The Last Shot” by Darcy Frey chronicles one year in the lives of four underprivileged, but talented basketball players from Coney Island’s Abraham Lincoln High School. Through their experiences, the book explores the socioeconomic decline of Coney Island, the dishonest recruiting strategies of big-time college coaches, the detrimental effects of the NCAA’s Proposition 48, and, most prominently, the dark underside of the American dream.
