CEDAR RAPIDS -- The doctors didn't want to operate because Tyler Hemphill is still growing.
Hemphill didn't want surgery because, well, because he wants to play.
The victim of a torn ACL in his left knee, Hemphill fastens his brace and grits it out for the Cedar Rapids Jefferson boys' basketball team. He posted 14 points and seven rebounds in the J-Hawks' 71-42 demolition of Cedar Rapids Washington in in a Mississippi Valley Conference boys' basketball game Friday night at Jefferson High School.
