With every session of the EYBL, I get more excited because Illinois is in the running for some of these talented players.
I will start with one player from the Mac Irvin Fire.
Da’Monte Williams didn’t play in the first two games of session two because he was mourning the passing of his grandmother.
Having a grandparent pass away is extremely tough. It has been eight years since my grandpa passed away and I still remember the day and where I was at when I heard the news.
Williams managed to battle through the emotions to play in the second game on Saturday and the finale on Sunday.
