In a time where sports news is constantly filled with scandal, betrayal and dishonesty, when a story comes along that melts your heart, it reminds us what sport is really all about. Earlier this month, a little known high school game in Wisconsin took place that showed that true character and leadership still exists within sports. The game occured between Milwaukee Madison and DeKalb, two schools separated by about a 2 hour drive, but now bonded by brotherhood.
I'll let you read the article for yourself and watch the video with it, but when I first read it, my heart went out to Johntrell and made me smile as I watched continuous coverage of A-Fraud. These types of stories revive my love of sports and make me a believer that perhaps there are still credible athletes out there who care more about the game and the people playing it, then padding their own stats. Not only can other young athletes learn from this, we as humans can take a page from this team's book when looking at the bigger picture in life.
