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!
