The lessons Kiley Gessner learned at Westerville North are the same ones that led him to want to help a former basketball teammate diagnosed with ALS.
The lessons Kiley Gessner learned as a player for the Westerville North boys basketball team are the same ones that led him to want to help his former teammate, Keegan Hale, a fellow 2009 graduate who was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in 2020.
Hale started feeling symptoms, a numbness in his right hand that eventually worked its way up to his shoulder, in January 2020. He was diagnosed that September, just a couple of months after marrying his wife, Mikie, and four days before finding out that his daughter, Blake, was on the way.ALS has impacted Hale’s ability to use his hands; he was in a wheelchair when he visited the camp Dec. 17.
The camp exemplifies the lessons Trusley, Gessner, Thuman and fellow assistant coaches Patrick Acocks, Lawrence Pack, Adam DeChant and Ben Pack are trying to impart on the current team.
