William Logan Carney

"At the beginning of my life, it was hard for me due to my size because people would say that tiny people couldn't do as well as taller people. But, God gave me a gift and that gift was the game of basketball. I started out at my own age, but then moved to older ages after coaches saw how I played. "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is The Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6. That is how I felt on the journey to show the world who I am and what I can do. "I can do all things through him who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13. I did this through my emotions and my game. The Lord has set a path for me to play basketball and it is up to me whether I want to take it or not."
