Like many who grow up in small rural towns like Lawrenceville, Illinois, playing sports is a pastime that a young man can hardly live without. Jay Shidler became a multi sport star at little Lawrenceville High School, but it was his exploits on the basketball court playing for legendary coach Ron Felling that put his name in lights. “The Blonde Bomber” became a record setting scorer, a state champion and household name in a storied era of high school basketball in Illinois. He would go on to become a part of college basketball royalty when he signed with the University of Kentucky Wildcats. As with his high school career, the fame, glory, adoration and the championships all came his way at Kentucky. But the real story of big time basketball and athletic fame is not always quite what it seems.“Blonde Bomber” takes an exclusive and provocative inside look at what it’s like to be a basketball icon. It takes you right onto the court to experience all the details of pressure packed games and championship basketball. It also gives a powerful account of the highest highs, the lowest lows and all the pressures, pitfalls, and struggles that must be endured to stay in the game and be a champion -- both as an athlete and a man.
