especially in the sport basketball.

separate ways…

he knew that this was the best decision

and couldn't play sports again, but he con-

tinuously saw himself at all the sporting

events, so it was obvious that he still had

the passion for the love of sports.

But on one day of class, the head football

coach noticed the potential in Tremayne

and decided to talk to him. The coach ex-

plained the opportunity of him playing col-

lege sports and gave him some words ad-

vice. He told Tremayne to keep his parents

problems their problems, and continue to

do what you love doing… playing sports.
