73-year old makes basketball team
Ken Mink, who at this time last year was a semi-retired 72-year old, made the decision to try out for a college basketball team. It seems that he had some unfinished business from his college team. He was dismissed from his old team back in 1956 and later joined the Air Force and started his career as a journalist. Now he’s ready to get back on the court. So Mink, now 73, tried out and made the team at Roane State, a community college in Tennessee. Check out the video. Mink is twice as old as the school is, which was founded in 1971. Even the coach is only 50 years old. Talk about recapturing your youth, this guy has definitely found a way to do that.
