That is why this story is so important to me. I love basketball stories on any level. This one has a very special meaning because two boys did something very special at the end of a basketball game in El Paso, Texas.
Friday night I was watching the news on CBS. Steve Hartman has a job I envy. Every Friday night he goes on the road and does a segment to end the Friday night news. Last Friday night he did a piece on the last basketball game of the season for Coronado High School in El Paso and young Mitchell Marcus.
Watch this video, see what Jonathon Montanez, a senior on the opposing team, does in a very classy example of sportsmanship for the subject of this post Mitchell Marcus. It is truly what high school sports are all about!
Watch this video and see if you are not touched like I was:

In looking through one of the pages of comments, I found this. I think it is especially gratifying to know other people besides myself think this was an incredible act of sportsmanship and everybody wins in this game:
What an awesome story! I tear up
every time I watch it. Y'all restore a little of my faith in humanity. Yes, the
kids on both teams are winners! I don't know if the opposing team was aware of
Coach Morales' plan. Regardless, it was nice of them to go along. Congrats to
both teams for your sportsmanship and kindness!
Do you think the world would be a better place if everyone played and/or watched sports on any level showed the kind of sportsmanship that was exhibited by these teenagers?
I know this video has already gone viral, and I think it is wonderful to see the true value of what sportsmanship is all about.
As always, I welcome your comments.
Later,
Mike
