Kevin Owens' entire athletics career isn't coming to a fast close.
Owens, a Cathedral High School senior, is among the comparatively few high school athletes who will play Division I collegiate sports. Owens, one of the state's top high school volleyball players, will attend Ball State University and play that sport there.
But one of Owens' careers is coming to an end relatively soon.
That's the high school career of the sport he calls his first love, basketball. It's a career that has taken something of an unexpected, positive turn this season, and one that Owens said he and his teammates on the Irish very much want to extend as long as possible.
