First time hearing about these 2 | 10:57 a.m. March 18, 2008
I have never heard of these guys but I was really impressed by the story. I am
so thankful for stories like this. I love sports and thinks sports are such a
valuable asset to us these days but I am saddened by many events such as the
fights that occur during games and after games such as the brawl after the
BYU-UNLV game and a few years ago what happened in a football game in Florida
when player were swinging helmets and cleats. These things destroy sports and
make people look down on them but then a story like the one about these 2 young
men comes along and is a great inspiration to all. Congrats on your
accomplishments and best of luck to you in the upcoming tournament and in your
lives after school. Thank you for being a great example to us all.

The story of these two young men is inspirational. From Banny's serious
knee injury shortly after coming to Salt Lake and both of them working so hard
in the weight room is a great story, and now they are being rewarded. Although
I'm a Badger fan now, I'm wearing my Salt Lake top this week and hope
they go all the way in the Tournament!
