The parents of Ryan Bost—Shawanda and Bobby—and their son Rashawn hold a gift following a charity basketball game in Ryan’s memory at Evanston High School. Ryan, who helped lead the Wildkits on two state championship drives, was shot and killed in 2020 after graduating. The exhibition brought back more than two dozen great Evanston players to Beardsley Gym. Rashawn, who wears his brother’s number, scored the winning baskets. “This game will definitely strengthen the community,” said Bobby Bost. (Photo by Richard Cahan)
