Have to admit I was misting up a bit when I read it earlier today - that kind of thing always gets to me. We work so hard at trying to teach young men the right things to do that it really gets me when you see situations where people truly put what is right into action.

It is refreshing to see a coach and team who "get it"......

Why did the coach leave his name out of the book? You can put the kid's name in the book whether he is there or not. This would have never been an issue had that been the case.

Yep, teared up a little- and I think I just sprouted ovaries!

It was tough to make it through that. I must be getting soft. Good to see coaches and athletes coming to a players side in his hour of need. That really shows the bond athletics can create.

I will need to cuss at least three times (out loud), chew some tobacco, and have a beer to get back to normal.

And some dumb a$$ number crunchers in school districts nation wide are talking of eliminating athletics due to budget constraints? WTF? Where are life lessons best taught and learned? Wins and losses are important, BUT nowhere, nowhere near as important as creating men and women of character. That is what we all OWE the next generation. Some one has to teach these things NOW so they can be taught over, and over, and over again for future generations.

Very familiar with the Milwaukee school and though I have not met the kid personally -I know him from a coaching perspecitve. Solid kid who doesn't deserve this, but from what I know of him it will only make him stronger.
