To those that like to bash students...

Post by sportsfan1000 »

Here is a nice article in todays Altoona Mirror regarding a few Johnstown players. Maybe before we put down ANY kid for a hs game we will think about this article and how there are FAR MORE IMPORTANT things going on in kids' lives.

I know, probably wishful thinking on my part.

Great article about 2 of the original FAB 5...In all seriousness, it's great to see two young men who had it tough finish their HS hoops careers on a positive note.

Great job by these young men!

One factual error in the article; Tom Glennon is not an assistant coach at Westmont.

Actually checking content for 100 % factuality might be asking a little too much of overburdened reporters.

Very good article and very respectable of coach glennan (sp) to step up to the plate and take in a homeless kid. But would he have done this if he wasn't a bball player who wouldn't have helped his son's team?

That is a fair question but it is really hard to tell what is in someone's heart. That being said Westmont is lucky if they win 10 games if that kid doesnt go there. It would have been interesting to see if Johnstown could have advanced a bit further with him.
