“Luther’s a unique, unique talent,” Pingel (CBC Head Coach) said. “He’s one of the most special guys I’ve ever seen with the ball in his hands.

“I think so many of these guys, there’s a lot of talent down here, some of these guys play against each other,” Pingel said. “Just to finally come together for one common goal and cause, I think it’s pretty exciting. It’s electric.”
