CClarke Central High School community member Marcus Gillespie speaks in the CCHS Competition Gym during his Signing Day on Nov. 8. After three years of being on the CCHS boys varsity basketball team and playing at Overtime Elite, Gillespie committed to the University of Nebraska Omaha to continue his basketball career. “To me, it’s kind of scary to think about what’s ahead, because at this point, it’s a new beginning,” Andre Lumpkin, Gillespie’s grandfather, said. “I (want) him to maintain his humbleness, leadership skills, team (development) and just, overall, (be a) good person.” Photos by Iliana Tejada
