Sometimes there are stories that revive faith in our young people...to me, this is one of them.

I agree. Winning is always a goal of sports, but doing things the right way should always be the case. These kids chose to do the right thing. It is a real shame some of our professional athletes couldn't choose to do the right thing instead of shoving needles into their bodies to make people believe they are better then their actual abilities. This is the ultimate lesson of sports and these girls understand it well. That is a great story.

Saw this story on the news yesterday. Great story. Things like this should happen more often.

Give him time.
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
