Read by Dion Graham.
In the summer of his seventeenth year, Samuel Sooleymon gets the chance of a lifetime: a trip to the United States with his South Sudanese teammates to play in a showcase basketball tournament. He has never been away from home, nor has he ever been on an airplane. The opportunity to be scouted by dozens of college coaches is a dream come true. During the tournament, Samuel receives devastating news from home: A civil war is raging across South Sudan, and rebel troops have ransacked his village. His father is dead, his sister is missing, and his mother and two younger brothers are in a refugee camp.

Underdog triumphs story submitted by leea on August 22, 2022, 10:35pm It's not unrealistic for promising young people to get involved with drugs that ends up tragically. From this tragedy came a legacy that would help so many others achieve better lives. I like that kind of ending.
