Really classy move by a high school basketball coach. Y’all just read the story for yourselves to see what happened. I, um, seem to have something in my eye…
Sportsmanship isn’t dead
That WAS nice. Thanks for sharing it.

None so good, though, as the moment a team and a player decided there were more important things than winning and having good stats.
Yes, DeKalb would go home with a loss. But it was a trip they’ll never forget.
“This is something our kids will hold for a lifetime,” Rohlman said. “They may not remember our record 20 years from now, but they’ll remember what happened in that gym that night.”
This is my philosophy absolutely.
God bless that kid and God bless that coach.
Great story. Thanks, Oak.
I love that the captain already knew he was going to be missing the free throws.
Great story.
Me too…
I read this story right after coming back from a Rachel’s Challenge assembly. Thanks loads. Both eyes…
Wow. Nice job, coach. And guys.
Class act.
Wow. Talk about winning a game…

I’m all sniffly now…
