“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”. Far easier said than done. A lot of well earned tears shed at the end of the Wilmington High boys basketball season, but that doesn’t take away from the incredible accomplishment of the team under first year head coach Anthony Faradie, which went from 4 wins last season to 12 this year and a trip to the state tournament. Thank you to the team. Thank you to the seniors and thank you to coach Faradje and his staff. What a ride.

At 13, Basketball was life for Chris Cole, and he was good. How good? Cole was one of the best point guards on the planet in his age group. Then Cole's dad - a drill Sargent in the Army, the man responsible for Cole's morals and work ethic, and above all, Cole's best friend - died of cancer, and everything came crashing down. A highly touted point guard with a spot on the roster at one of the top prep school's in the country, Cole struggled for years to pick up the pieces after his dad's death. Filled with a quiet anger inside, Cole quit the game for a year and gained 100 pounds, before finally falling back in love with it. After losing the weight, Cole earned a Division I college scholarship, only to have his career end prematurely due to a life threatening illness. After a long recovery, Cole found himself homeless without a degree. Amazingly, he picked up the pieces, earned a degree, and reconnect with hoops as a trainer and then coach. Now the associate head coach at Bryant University, Cole sat down with the LIT crew to talk about life, loss, picking up the pieces again, and the game of basketball. This is his amazing story.
