The high school team Riley played his basketball on had some real outstanding players until they got to college level play. Many tried out and were handed the no play slip. Being on this team with limited play time, sticking it out, is a great education for him. I asked him on Monday evening how many of his old school buds went on to play college anything and his reply was "one", he played football. Then I asked how many went on to participate in a nationnal play-off and he said, "just me". I just smiled and told him I sure do think the world of him. None of these kids are losers. I'm proud of the whole lot of them that are out east right now. They get a big thumbs up from this old boy and the text that went to the team from his family lets every one of that team know we see them as winners no matter what the game scores say.
