Where in the world is Matt Miller? Good question. For the time being, he's back home in Aurora, doing work as an athletic trainer and organizing a summer basketball camp at the Fox Valley Park District's Eola Center. Usually, though, it's wise to have an atlas and a globe handy to find him. In the nine years since he earned Beacon-News All-Area Basketball honors as a senior point guard for coach David Saurbaugh at Waubonsie Valley High School, Miller has been here, there and, well, darn near everywhere. England, Spain, Germany, Bosnia, Romania, Ethiopia and Rwanda are just some of the stamps on the well-worn passports of this professional player.
