Friday Night Play
We had our game on Fri. night. Before the game the AD's told us that there would be a moment of silence, preceeded by bagpipes playing amazing grace. During this, both teams knelt in the same end zone, holding hands with each other while one of the coaches led them in prayer. The home head coach then told the players "Fellows, we are all Americans, and we have all suffered losses this week, but it's Friday night and we're playing football so let's go out there and have a good game."
These were two inner city schools with, I'm sure, all the usual problems, but one of the best games I have done with regards to sportsmanship.
There are a lot of educators out there who are heros too!!!
