Canon-McMillan senior Luke Blanock, who was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma – a rare form of cancer – Dec. 5, 2013, returned to the basketball court exactly one year later when the Big Macs opened the season against Burgettstown.
After 12 months of radiation treatments and chemotherapy, Blanock started for the Big Macs in a 77-32 victory over the Blue Devils.
After receiving a loud ovation when taking the court for his first varsity start, Blanock made his first game back unforgettable. With 6:30 remaining in the third quarter, Blanock made an uncontested three-pointer for his first career varsity points.
