Cedric Foster Tim Schwoerer

Basketball was little more than a mere afterthought to Cedric Foster as late as his varsity years in high school. He never played organized basketball and didn’t really try to. The streets were calling his name and he was answering. Then something funny began to happen. First with his body and then with his mind. Both began to develop and expand. At simultaneous times, physically and mentally he knew the moment in time was to now answer to different callings. Education took to the forefront, and a passion to enter college became overwhelming. The streets can take away and give right back, just that fast. Cedric was intelligent enough to know it was time to depart these cruel and uncaring south side streets , streets that mercilessly took the life of a brother. Responsibility, maturity, and brave risk taking kicked in, and after a few missteps that did not deter him Cedric found the warm and cozy corner of (University of Wisconsin) Sheboygan WI. to attend school and play basketball. A once undersized body frame developed fast , settling in at a firm 6’2 and 205lbs. Now sporting a school uniform for the first time, this sophomore G/F is starting for the Wombats. Showing strength, agility, and athleticism, Cedric is making his mark here and is a co-captain. Tim Schwoerer is the other co-captain and Cedric’s closest friend. Easily the teams comedic heart and soul, Tim shows a dead eye ability from any spot on the offensive end and is a fearless and penetrating ball handler. Recently we visited them for their season opener at their UW-Sheboygan campus, about an hour north of Milwaukee on the shores of Lake Michigan.
