Meet one sports-mad hoopster in Illinois.
He’s a bright kid. An athlete. And he doesn’t think sports video games are all that cool.
18-year-old Jonathan Huisel lives near Chicago and he’s more interested in playing or watching the real thing…and if he’s not participating, he’s collecting, buying or selling.
The high school senior is a starter on his high school basketball team and a pitcher in baseball, but he’s not fussy when it comes to sports. He loves all of them. Huisel’s busy schedule includes buying on eBay and chasing down autographs.
"I’ve got some pretty good stuff and I really like looking at it and remembering how I got it," he said in this feature story in the Chicago Daily Herald’s prep sports section.
