"We were trying to do this for the players who did the right thing, who didn't skip class or practice or argue with the coaches,"

Amen and bump for all the good kids. Bump for all the good kids who have to endure the class idiots, the criminals, the bullies, and mooks and midrifs who seem to get away with any and everything. Bump for all the good kids who study and who stay in school and who do the right things. Bump for the good kids who go to church and who don't mind saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Bump for the good kids on the honor roll. Bump for the good kids for whom the administrators will never bend over backwards. Bump for the good kids who work hard and save their money for college. Bump for the good kids who are on the team and without whom there would be no high school 'stars'. Bump for the good kids who have good friends. Bump for the good kids who don't make children until they get married. Bump for the good kids who understand that what you wear on the outside is never as important as who you are in the inside. And bump for all the good kids that I have forgotten, the ones who never get mentioned.
