I know there a many who read this forum each week … I also KNOW how supportive the SEOPs family has been for me in my battle with cancer therefore I have no problem in asking my fellow SEOPs posters to give up just as many positive thoughts and prayers for Gage Rhoades , #23 , leading scorer for Coach Davis' Chesapeake Panthers … I don't know the specifics of the health issue that has Gage now sidelined for the rest of the season but our good friend from Chesapeake - peake71- mentioned that Gage was having tests run at the Cleveland Clinic … that in itself tells me that Gage and his family NEED much support …

… when I was at my lowest physically and mentally from MY treatments for cancer - I would flip on SEOPs to see posts of support from many of you and others I didn't know - it gave ME strength to know that so many people were in my corner, that I wasn't fighting alone - it gave me strength, picked me up and gave me a kick in the butt when I needed it … I ask you all to do the same for Gage & his family … pray for both physical and mental strength to fight the battle he has no choice but to take on … pray for positive outcomes on the tests that will show what Gage must compete against - the opponent …

… Gage & the Rhoades family - just as the Chesapeake community has and will continue to rally around you for support … I and the rest of the SEOPs sports community WILL be here for you, for Gage with our support as well …
