SELMA, Ind. — Wapahani's gymnasium was the perfect place it could happen.
Matt Luce on Friday earned his 300th career victory and 250th with Raiders boys basketball, a milestone fittingly celebrated in the place he's called home for the last 15 years.
The game itself, a 71-42 win over Randolph Southern, wasn't particularly memorable, yet the final buzzer sent the crowd into championship-like celebration. Luce's entire family shared No. 300 together, remembering the journey as the community showed its appreciation with applause, signs and rocking pep band tunes.
"When I look back I think of my family, I think of my wife, Marie, and I think of all the kids that I've been lucky enough to be around and have a small influence on their life," Luce said.
