A few weeks ago a legend was born among the ranks of the Louisville basketball program when Luke Hancock shot his way into our hearts and earned himself the Most Outstanding Player award in the Final Four in route to Louisville’s third national title. Since Luke Hancock helped Louisville climb it’s way back to the top of the mountain in college basketball he has earned many kudos and has been recognized probably as much as any other player on the team. Tuesday those kudos reached new heights when back in his hometown of Roanoke County Virginia they decalared May 28, 2013 as Luke Hancock Day. He is a 2009 graduate of Hidden Valley High School in Roanoke, VA.

Luke Hancock will be remembered forever as a part of Cardinal Lore and will go down as a fan favorite, but nothing will ever be as big as being honored by his hometown and making the people who raised him so proud. Luke Hancock will not only be a legend in Louisville Kentucky, but their will now be little kids shooting baskets in Roanoke County VA pretending they are Luke hitting the game winning shot in the NCAA Tourney. Congrats Luke!

Everyone join me in banging three fingers to the side of your head and all together say Happy Luke Hancock Day!
