Sometimes a guy enters your program who is not your star, or your second option, or even your third, but does the work. Gets dirty, mixes it up, picks up his teammates, brings along the young guys, brings the huddle together, brings the team together.
He might not jump out of the gym but it is 110% night in and night out. As he plays his final home game, stand and applaud Mr. Isaiah Philmore.
Now Isaiah heads from the bright lights to open gym Valhalla. He can relish a lifetime of backing them down in the paint, sticking back bunnies, popping the occasional soft J from the elbow, and taking home trophies.
Slap on the Rec Specs, tighten the knee brace, brief quad stretch, and yell ‘NEXT!’
Hail and Farewell the Rec League Champ!

Totally agree and support this post. Zeke plays hard every second he is on the floor. He is to be commended, and I can't think of a better way for the guys to salute him than by beating Nova on Senior Night.
Lets Go X!!!!

Thanks Zeke!
(ps. as a fitting farewell, help us make the dance. You deserve one more.)...he went up late, and I was already up there.
