Marques Warrick and Jaylan Green met in middle school and soon became the best of friends. This friendship was due in large part to the game of basketball.

From Childhood to College

They both played basketball for Edith J. Hayes Middle School in Lexington. It was always a competition between the two whenever they were on the court; they were local stars in the making.

Now, both juniors in college, Warrick plays for Northern Kentucky University while Green plays for Transylvania University in Lexington. The two teams made history on Tuesday night as NKU traveled to Lexington to play an exhibition game against Transylvania.
