Christmas is an interesting time of the year when the worst and best can be brought out in a person. People are hustling and bustling to take part in all the holiday activities: ranking up the credit card bills, finding that perfect present, or booking the whole day out with holiday activities. It can be a chaotic time, but it can also be rewarding to spend time with family, friends, or those we enjoy. Despite the chaos, people can take encouragement not only in seasonal elements like cookies, holiday parties, and snow but also in holiday traditions.

“My grandma would make an edible Christmas tree in the basement where it was a live tree, decorated with candy and cookies.”

The UWGB men’s basketball team has seen its fair share of talented players come through its program over the years, but a name that will never be forgotten in the school’s history books is Keifer Sykes.

To recognize his lasting influence on the program, Sykes was inducted into the Phoenix Hall of Fame during the summer of 2023.

“Be a leader but also be a great follower. Follow good examples, great examples. Don’t be afraid to be different. Don’t always try to be the cool person. That doesn’t last very long. Don’t be afraid to just be yourself. For me, it was a lot of hard work. Maximize your hours, be as productive as you can, and read books on things that can help you at different times in your life.”
