Mikey Haley has been an inspiration for the Perry Panthers In their storybook run to the state finals.

Just over two weeks after having his appendix removed, the junior point guard is back on the basketball court with his teammates.

Haley practiced with the Panthers on Tuesday and will be available to play in Friday's OHSAA Division II state championship game against Westerville North in Dayton.

"He's cleared," Perry head coach Matt Voll said. "We're trying to build up his stamina to be able to compete and play. He's a skilled player. The kid has never missed one workout since April 1. He's a tough kid who wants to do everything he can to help his team every which way.

"It was good to see his smile on the court. It was good to see him moving and handling the ball. I think he's going to get stronger each day."

Haley has missed Perry's last four tournament games.
