Little Elliot Razek may be ONU's biggest fan
Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, March 5, 2017

By Monty Siekerman
Little Elliot Razek may be holding a valuable basketball, if the ONU undefeated women's basketball team wins the national championship.

That possibility is looking more likely since the Polar Bears convincingly beat the champion of the Northern Athletic Collegiate Conference on Friday and the on Saturday stopped Trine University of Indiana.

The miniball was signed by all of the ONU players. Elliot has probably seen more basketball games than most adults ever have.

He's seen nearly all of the women's games the past four years because his aunt, Angela Tesny, is senior 5-8 guard on the Polar Bear team.
