It's a sad day

I'm sure by now that most of you have heard about Luke Homan, the former Brookfield Central star and current UW-La Crosse reserve basketball player whose body was pulled from the Mississippi River on Monday morning.

I really don't feel like going into the details. You can read about them here.

I remember Luke from his high school days. I was a stringer for the Waukesha Freeman and covered a few Central basketball games. What I remember most about him was his range. He had no problem pulling up from 25 feet and letting it fly. Astute Fondy fans will remember him as well. Central played against Fondy in the 2002 and 2003 state tournaments.

My heart goes out to Luke's family and friends and the entire UW-La Crosse community.
