Feel Good Story Of The Season ...
I first heard about this from my daughter. Her girlfriend's boyfriend is an assistant coach of a CYO team, and they have a blind player, not just legally blind, but blind, period, playing on a sighted team. Enjoy the links to this amazing story, about an amazing young man, and about a league, and a coach, willing to bend the rules to give us all a reminder about the purposes of sports, having fun, and showing good sportsmanship.
