Euclid & Woodland

A novel by Richard Kauffman

One night. One city. One championship nobody in Lexington was going to forget.

March 30, 1998. Kentucky is playing for the national championship, and four eighteen-year-old high school seniors have a freshly cleaned T-top Firebird, a radio, and nowhere they would rather be than Lexington.

When Kentucky falls behind, leaving starts to sound sensible. The city remembers what happened after the heartbreak of 1997. But they stay, listening as the Wildcats claw their way back.

Then Kentucky wins.

What follows is a ride through packed streets, open windows, strangers celebrating together, and the electric chaos of a city spilling outside to share one impossible night.

Euclid & Woodland, inspired by true events, is a coming-of-age story about friendship, youth, and the kind of night that becomes a memory before it is even over.
