When Jared Savage was attending high school at Warren Central, he knew one day he wanted basketball to pay the bills.
After starring for the Dragons and later at Western Kentucky, with a stop at Austin Peay in between, he’ll be getting paid to play. Savage signed with Gymnastikos Syllogos Lavrio Basketball Club of Greece’s top-tier Greek Basket League last month and is excited to begin his professional career.
“I finally get paid to play basketball – something I’ve done my whole life. I’m finally a pro now. All the hard work I’ve put in when nobody’s looking has finally paid off now,” Savage said in a phone interview with the Daily News.
