More than basketball!!! It’s an honor for @_OwenFreeman to be awarded this scholarship!! Thank you so much to the Street family for honoring Owen with this Scholarship.
He might let out a "dang it!" but he'll never swear.

Happy 18th birthday @_OwenFreeman!! I am so proud of the young man you have turned out to become. Keep being you and can’t wait to see what the e future holds for you. #brightfuture#Hawkeye#molinemaroons#GodFirst
Pretty big day for this kid!! Words can’t explain how proud I am as a dad to watch @_OwenFreeman grow in his game but more than that as a person. Keep working hard, bright future awaits!!
Love this because everyone looks at box scores and see he didn’t put up number!! His defense against Benet and DGN was huge. Affecting so many shots, by protecting the paint.
