[Granny Bear]

I don't want to wax too philosophically here, Crossbones but that's what it's all about to me. HC didn't do as well as I actually thought they would do this year, but their accomplishments are just icing on the cake for me. The real story is with each and every individual on that team!! I would support them dogmatically had they not won a single game!! We had a trainer on the team that loved those kids with all his heart; the boys also loved him just as much. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer earlier in the year and he made it very well known that before dying, his final wish was to lead the Black Bears out of the helmet for their first game. When it became apparent that he would probably not live that long, the boys got him for the pre-season scrimmage, and he led them out that first Friday night. He died the following Tuesday.

THIS is what it's all about; life lessons, dedication and determination...DonnieStrong!!!!
