Well it started out Friday night with my alma mater, North Penn High School in Blossburg, losing big time for the second week in a row. The Panthers have been really good the past few years, so it's tough to accept defeat there....especially in our small town where school activities are the heart and soul of the community. I'm sure they'll bounce back!
I didn't make it up to our high school game because the Mets game didn't end until after 7:00...but I did listen for a bit on the radio. I have to believe that only good things are destined for Millionaire football...KEEP THE FAITH BOYS AND DON'T GIVE UP! I haven't had many of these young men in class since they were freshmen, but I enjoy seeing and chatting with them in the hallway. While they may not be "winning" as far as victories go, they are respectful and looking sharp, dressed up wearing ties on game days. While watching the replay of the game Sunday morning on tv I was so impressed and proud when I saw some of our players after the game congratulating the opposing coach (Coach Curry got his 400th victory against us in this game). THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT! You have proven that it's not just about putting up numbers on a scoreboard. Rather, sports teach our students how to work together, be a contributing member, and respect the game. While winning is nice, it truly isn't everything and if that's not a life lesson, I don't know what is!
