Matthew was one of the shortest members in his class at Iroquois High School yet in his sophomore year he played modified basketball and developed friendships with his teammates. He was diagnosed with cancer toward the end of the season so for the next 2 years, when his health allowed, he attended the varsity basketball games and watched his teammates have two very successful seasons. One month before he lost his battle with cancer the team made Matthew an Honorary Captain. A couple of years later we started the Matthew Foster Memorial Basketball Tournament that starts the girls basketball teams seasons.
