I’m just a basketball fan… For a high school kid to say
”I’ve been waiting my whole life” for this moment… to play for EC and win… the kid is locked in, he understands the weight of the moment… Wishing all the best to Coach Alaa Mroueh and his team!

Mekhi Gillis has been ‘waiting for my whole life’ for this moment. To play for East Chicago Central. To win. Freshman guard Mekhi Gillis knows the history of the East Chicago Central boys basketball program and is proud to add to it.
