From playing pickup basketball on his driveway in Mequon with former Marquette head coach Tom Crean’s children to dressing up like his favorite players for Halloween, Michael Kennedy always dreamt of playing on the Marquette basketball team.
“Both of my parents went to Marquette and they always took me to the games,” Michael said. “I’ve been a Marquette fan pretty much my whole life.”
When his mother looks back on Kennedy’s time at Homestead High School, she realized she was watching him play the same role his first year that he would play at Marquette.
“As a freshman, he was on the varsity team and he didn’t play as much so he knew his role was to be the cheerleader,” Wendy said.
