A documentary about the life and impact of former Hiland High School basketball Coach Perry Reese Jr. is nearing completion after over 20 years.  The film, titled “Angel in Amish Country, The Perry Reese Jr. Story,” features interviews with over 70 people who knew Reese, including family, friends, and former players. The filmmakers believe they found the perfect ending to the film with Hiland’s dramatic double-overtime win against Lima Central Catholic in the 2023 Div. IV state semifinals, a game that mirrored a similar matchup between the two schools in 1992.  A trailer for the film is available to watch at angelinamishcountry.com.
