A Coach Stands Up

[Dick Brown]

A news story circulating in this area of football-crazy Florida involves a local high school head coach whose football team is competing in the state playoff system and who has suspended his best running back and his best defensive player for the next game based on their admitted participation in a destructive Halloween prank .
The coach warned his team when they began practices in August what would happen if they ( the players ) continued to be a disruptive factor in the community . On Tuesday , the two players in question , along with their friends , were indicted by the local police for throwing missiles through the windshields of passing cars and subsequently the coach took action . Lots of pressure on him , of course , but it looks like the community , at this time , supports his action . It might change if the team loses , but for now , the people apparently have decided that it's the right thing to do .
Good for him and good for the community .

Definitely Good for him and the community!  They need to be held accountable for their actions, football star or not. He sounds like a great coach!  Thanks for sharing Mr. Brown!
