Tuesday night's game between Rockridge and Morrison was dedicated to Drake DeKeyrel, a freshman student who died on Christmas Eve.
DeKeyrel, 14, was a three sport athlete, who played football, basketball, and planned to join the baseball team in the spring. Three weeks after his death, his family joined his team on the court to say thank you for their community's prayers and support.
The crowd wore royal blue, Drake's favorite color. They stood and cheered as school leaders presented the DeKeyrel family with a banner, honoring Drake as a teammate and friend.
The basketball team says their motto this year is, "Do it for Drake".
