MISHAWAKA, Ind. (WNDU) - Marvin's Garden is more than a stop on the Monopoly board. It's now a 'park place' in Mishawaka. Dedication ceremonies were held Thursday for a new park honoring the late Marv Wood. Wood's life is what movies are made of. He inspired the film, Hoosiers. As a coach, Wood made the 1954 Milan High School basketball team the smallest school to ever win Indiana's single-class state basketball tournament. 'Marv was a simple, decent man with a servant's heart, strong work ethic, and impeccable values,' said Mishawaka Mayor Dave Wood.
