I am pulling this from EyeyoftheTiger's article about Beechwood this week. I like the good news to get reported and the good guys to get their recognition. Often times people only see the surface level and don't know the inside story of how teammates are with each other. In competitive sports, people let jealousy and other emotions dictate their views of opponents. I think this shows a lot of class from a sophomore playing in his first varsity game. I am sure Mitch Thomas appreciated it.

 

Here is what was reported in the article:

 

 

Class Act - Ethan Stringer

 

With the injury to Thomas, sophomore Ethan Stringer was asked to take over at running back. Stringer stepped up to the challenge and was named player of the game by the Skyline Showdown media. Stringer was awarded a trophy for the honor. Upon receiving his trophy on the field, Stringer immediately took the trophy, walked to the sideline where his injured teammate Thomas was standing on crutches, handed him the trophy and told Thomas he deserved that award. Way to go Ethan! Now that is brotherhood.

That's cool. I'm sure young Mr Thomas appreciated it.

Good for Ethan a good kid from a good family.

We don't hear enough about this kind of stuff. Nice job Ethan!

This is good to hear because its certainly in direct opposition to the Ethan we heard about a year ago. Ethan has done a great deal of growing up. I believe this started with Bob Mullins in Basball and has continued to the football field. It's great to see a tremendous athlete realize that its about more than them. Sounds like he truly get's it.

That's good stuff!

I've known the kid since he was 6 years old, and he's always been a good kid. Cocky....yes on the field he is very confident and sure of himself. But he's always been respectful and a good teammate.

That may be true. I can only go by the stories I heard both on and off the field and my first-hand experiences. I will not add any detail or evidence because that goes against the very positive nature of this thread. It was certainly a great gesture on his part and he deserves the kudos.

Then there was no need to bring any of it up. He's a talented stand up kid now, and in my experience (which is fairly extensive), he always has been. That he did something like this is not a surprise at all.

Super-mature response from such a young player or any high school kid for that matter.

Awesome to hear!!!!

Awesome stuff by a young man.

I'll give you that. I was simply seeing the contrast as a POSITIVE thing. I apologize for any appearance of negativity. There really wasn't any intended.

What a tremendous talent and a very unselfish thing to do. This kid can be special for beechwood.

 

Now, lets get to reality of this post. This is a shot at the SK fans, not cool BW people. Not cool.

Fellow BGP posters, if you want to respond to this, please send our New Cath fan a PM. Let's not turn a thread about a very nice gesture into mud wrestling. I started the thread and that thought never crossed my mind.
