"Didn't know what that would look like, but he definitely made the most of it."Lucke scored five points that night. The game was out of hand at that point, as Pace Academy won 78-47. However, the way the crowd reacted to the shot made it seem as if Lucke had just won the game for the team."Daniel is popular because he is a great young man who is liked because of his character, selfless personality and because he makes being a team manager cool," White said.
