    Just a few short years ago, Henry Penner wasn’t happy in his relationship with the game of basketball. 
    After a location change and a lot of growth as a player his love for the game is as strong as ever for the former Husky and now Wayne State player. 
    A junior for the Wildcats, Penner transferred to Wayne State after one year at the University of Nebraska-Kearney in an effort to revitalize his love for basketball. 
    “Two years ago I never really thought I would be in the position I’m in right now at Wayne State,” Penner said. “I’m truly blessed and fortunate to get a second chance at basketball at a really good school.”
