At Beech High School's District 7-4A semifinal game, visitors found a tribute table featuring a photo of the 17-year-old Bailey holding a basketball with a visible scar from his recent arm amputation. A QR code linked to a GoFundMe page for his family's medical costs was also displayed.
Despite battling cancer for nearly four years, Bailey continued playing with passion, as coach Jim McDowell noted: 'He was a hooper, man, you hear me? He loved basketball.' His teammates felt his presence during their 46-44 victory.
