Nonprofit ‘changing the game’ for young people in Little Rock
What is a Game Changer? We’ve all probably heard the term at one point or another, but what does it mean. Well, Random House Dictionary defines it this way: “a person or thing that dramatically changes the course, strategy, character, etc., of something.”
By that definition, former Razorback and Milwaukee Bucks star, Sidney Moncrief was most definitely a “game changer” throughout his basketball career.
But now Moncrief is more interested in being a different kind of Game Changer through the Moncrief Institute for College and Career Readiness.
