I would like to extend my condolences to the Borders family. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. I remember Isaiah as a little boy running up-and-down the bleachers of the SHG gym when my niece played basketball for Maurice. What a sweet young boy he was and grew into a handsome young man. RIP Isiah.
