NEW YORK – As the Providence Friars prepared for a Friday practice at Baruch College, Kyron Cartwright was left to absorb some devastating news.

The junior from Compton, Cal., was informed that his grandmother, Elaine Henderson, had died unexpectedly. The news hit him hard.

"It was difficult," Cartwright said. "I was always close with her, me and my brother. It's tough"

Cartwright and his older brother, Bryce, were raised with a close hand by their grandmother. She would often pick up the boys from school while her daughter, Jenise, was at work.
