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.

Spencer: Blind player helps team see the value of sportsmanship - The Delaware County Daily Times : Serving Delaware County, PA(DelcoTimes.com)

Great Story Billy

Glad there was no "T" at the end for too many players on the court.....
