In November, Luke Pfromm became a Divsion 2 state champion for De La Salle football. He had taken a break from basketball to rejoin his football team, and worked hard to get them to the championship. Still, he's admitted that even while he was back in the football schedule, he was practicing jump shots. The kid is just an athlete, through and through. More interesting still it seems that even with him dedicating so much of his free time to athletic pursuits, he's found the time to gather a dedicated community of supporters.
The Fan Choice Awards are, essentially, a chance to find out who the community feels is most deserving. That can be because they are particularly talented, because they've overcome hardship, or even because they're likable. Regardless, people have to know who you are and they have to care enough to remember to vote. For High School athletes that's not as easy as it is for college or professional athletes.
And yet Luke got so many votes that I haven't had to check the spelling of that last name once, because I've seen it so often in the last months.
Luke has shown- whether through football, basketball, or participation in the Fan Choice Awards- that he is a competitor. He's off to college next, with scholarships waiting. We are excited to see what he decides to excel at next, and are proud to name him one of Metro Detroit's fan favorites!
