Former Knights Captain, Mike Kane, Visits Open Gym

Mike Kane makes a surprise visit to NRP to see his former 'mates at an open gym.  Mike was a starter, senior captain, and key member of the 2014 Knights' IHSA Class 2A Regional Championship squad.  Known for his relentless defensive energy and "clutch plays" under pressure, Mike is currently attending Harper CC.  He has his eyes set on an eventual transfer to IIT (Illinois Institute of Technology) to pursue a degree in Computer Programming.

Great to see you, Mike!
