One Shining Moment Recognized

Prairie Public Program Receives Emmy Nomination
The Prairie Public Television hit that has basketball fans from across the state cheering has been nominated for a Regional Emmy Award. One Shining Moment: History of North Dakota Boys' Class "B" Basketball has been nominated for a Minnesota region Emmy in the outstanding historical documentary category.

The Emmy recognizes outstanding achievements to encourage the continuing pursuit of excellence within the industry and promote the highest standards of quality by focusing public attention upon professional, technical and personal achievements in the production of television programming.

This 80 minute, painstakingly researched, and stirring documentary takes viewers through the 67 year history of the state's biggest sporting event. You'll see the great players interviewed, like Jerry Pyle of Central Cass, Henry Milkey of Minot Model and Scott Guldseth of Edinburg. The great teams like Mayville-Portland-Clifford-Galesburg of 1996 and 97, LaMoure 1976, Central Cass 1968 and Kenmare's 1960's squads. The great coaches are all here, Ed Beyer of Hillsboro, Bob Hunskor of Newburg and Jerry Meyer of Kenmare. And the great games, featuring a poignant, special profile of the 1977 title tilt between Hillsboro and tiny Epping, the ultimate David vs. Goliath matchup. This is an absolute collectors item, a piece of North Dakota's history. The tape also features an extra 9 minutes of video not seen in the television broadcast.
