73 year old college basketball player
My headlines gadget on my computer brought up a news article about a 73 year old man playing in a college basketball game. On Thursday, February 19, college student Ken Mink made history as the nation’s oldest college basketball player ever. He started his college career at Lees Junior College in Kentucky in 1955. In 1956 somone played a prank on the coach by spraying shaving cream all over his office. Mink was accused and kicked off the team because of it. 52 years later, Mink got a shot with the Roane Junior College Raiders basketball team. He’s older than the college he attends, older than his teachers and even the college president. He doesn't get much playing time unless the score is very lopsided, but this is still a great story of someone who doesn't want to let their dreams go.
