Justice heading to Louisville
October 22nd, 2009
Well, this blogging gig has its ups and downs.
Of course, this median of communication allows us to deliver news real time. On the flip side, news can change on a dime.
It’s official: Elisha Justice is going to the University of Louisville.
Shelby Valley head coach Jason Booher just informed me that Justice has agreed to go to Louisville as a preferred walk-on.
Elisha’s decision was based on a number of things, Booher said, the most important being Louisville head coach Rick Pitino’s development of walk-on players. Some of those players include: Will Scott, Cameron Mills, Anthony Epps, Chris Smith (brother of NBA player J.R. Smith), and Alhaji Mohammad (who is currently playing professional overseas).
Congratulations Elisha!
We knew that Pitino was coming to Shelby Valley Wed. night to observe Elisha (who happens to be our great-nephew…had to brag a little..lol). Uncle Ron was hoping that Elisha would get a good offer and choose Louisville. We know it is a stressful decision for him and pray for him to make the right one. We have been so proud of him and feel that he deserves a good offer. He’s not only a good basketball player, but is such a great/compassionate young man. Congratulations, Elisha, on whatever decision you make. Although we live in Michigan, we keep up with your stats. GO SHELBY VALLEY!!!
Congratulations Elisha! Make Pike County proud!
