But there are times when the cosmic tumblers of fate put someone in just such a position. Enter Drummond’s Scott Parke. With two Trojans playing sick, Drummond was in need of a hand to keep their postseason train on track. And it was mid-game when the lanky sophomore took to the floor to give teammate Colt Parsons a break. But in the scant few minutes that
