Last weekend in Charleston, S.C., a bus carried the Summerville High basketball team to the state 4A semifinals. It also carried the memory of a man you've never heard of, a man who meant everything to the boys on that bus. His name was Louis Mulkey, and he was an assistant coach in football and basketball and, everyone says, life. and last night
Greenwave win state title *this was my high school, i graduated in '04. I knew some of these kids and the head coach, but i didn't know who louis mulkey was until the night of the fire. I'm just really happy for these kids. They've probably had the worst year of their lives and to come away winning a state title.
*i can't remember if the espn article said who louis mulkey was, but he was one of the 9 firefighters killed in the charleston fire at the sofa super store as well as a teacher, and assistant coach.
