Bellarmine Knights Welcomes Young Player from Team IMPACT

The Bellarmine Knights basketball team has welcomed a new member, 9-year-old Isaiah White, through a collaboration with Team IMPACT, a nonprofit that connects children with illnesses to college sports teams nationwide. Isaiah, who was diagnosed with leukemia at age five and experienced a relapse in October 2023, will now participate in team practices, games, and special events.

Isaiah's mother, Christina White, expressed her joy, noting the significance of Isaiah being part of a team again after his health challenges interrupted his budding basketball journey in third grade. The players are equally enthusiastic about Isaiah's involvement, with guard Grant Whitaker highlighting the inspiration he brings through his resilience and determination. This initiative continues Bellarmine's tradition of supporting young individuals facing health battles, making Isaiah the third child to join the team in recent years.
