Winthrop guard Jimmy Gavin played for Prospect High School’s basketball team, but never made the varsity team. He never gained the size and strength he needed to play varsity. In fact, he didn’t reach 100 pounds. Now he is a muscular guard, and one of the leading scorers in the Big South Conference.
Through hard work and perseverance, the Arlington Heights resident has overcome health problems and personal tragedy to earn a Division I scholarship as a graduate transfer at the age of 23.
This is a sports story and human success story you don’t want to miss.
