I want to thank everyone for their comments and support, it is greatly appreciate. I have traveled a long road to get to this point and have learned that every thing you leave behind becomes a lasting memory. The jersey night went great and with all the players and fans showing their support that night it would never be forgotten. Harrisburg Heat came apart of my life at an important time and I thank them for what they had done for me, the biggest achievement beside winning championships along my journey was being able to have a voice as a professional athlete and spread a message of HOPE.

I thank you all once again and i am proud to be a bermuda onion. David Bascome

Thanks for the support. It will be up to us to help delivery messages of what one can achieve with their talent, but we would have to be careful as things have changed a lot. Young people with talent have many options and need to be guided in the right direction. There was a huge missing component that was avoided in my journey which can not be avoided today and that is education, it’s important that when we are encouraging people to further their talents we must make them understand the importance of balancing their talents with education. there are only 1percent or less of people that make it in the professional careers and having a strong fall back is important, especially in this time when we are preparing our young people for 21st century business and social development.

Congratulations David, your story is an amazing one. We all have choices in life and we all have talents. I can’t do you and you can’t do me, we all need to be the best ‘ me’ that we can.
David you are a true testament that hard work does pay. There is no such thing as LUCK, it’s PREPARATION that does it!!

Well done…

so good to see another guy from my childhood break out and use his talent to achieve…some of us use football to get college and Uni scholarships while David Goater, Lightborn. and now young Wells were exceptional. Its a shame that the majority of us don’t realize our talents can take us further than the local game can ever offer
