In the bleak and desolate days of the depression of the 1930s, the residents of Waterloo, Ohio, had little about which to be happy. In this rural Appalachian town, 20 miles outside of Ironton, residents had been hit hard with job losses and did whatever they could to make a living. The depression was on everyone's minds until the Waterloo Wonders. The boys in Waterloo got a little creative when it came to entertaining themselves. They tied rags together to make a basketball, hung bushel baskets in a barn, and learned to play the game of basketball with a ball that wouldn't bounce. What came out of this endeavor was a group of boys who learned how to pass the ball so proficiently that no opponent could stop them. Individually, they were good basketball players, but together they made history, as they become Class B state champions in 1934 and 1935. Their story is the focus of a documentary "The Eighth Wonder: The Waterloo Wonders". Produced by WOUB's Cheri Russo, see how a small group of farm boys from Waterloo, Ohio, overcame obstacles to give hope to a region that had suffered greatly during one of the most difficult times in American history.
