Description

The Last One Out of Town Turn Out the Lights tells the inspiring untold story of how a soul-crushing school district consolidation in 1975 changes the fate and fortunes of two rural Maine high schools. That controversial school merger allows Foxcroft Academy to finally establish a winning basketball team and claim its one and only Gold Ball, the trophy of the Maine High School Basketball Championship.
