Hallmark Moment: This is sportsmanship!!!

This story turned the waterworks on for me! http://highschool.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=914609

What happened: At a regular season basketball game, DeKalb Illinois High School missed a free throw ON PURPOSE. Why? To let a player from Milwaukee Madison come into the game late, without the 2 point technical pentalty in the rules. Why so kind? The captain was late for the game because he was with his mother as she passed away from Cancer. (I'm tearing up already!)

What's Next: These will be great men! All dozen or so, on both teams. It is not often you get to see life in clear contrast: winning a game versus loving a person. These men will forever be touched by giving and receiving kindness.

Read the article from Associated Press but be sure to bring your tissues!
