Article:A high school coach who gets it

The story of Covenant School's 100-0 defeat of Dallas Academy has been prominent in the news the past couple of weeks, including Cheezer's own analysis of the situation here. Perhaps you missed the story of another Texas high school coach, team and parents who got it right.

In November, Faith Christian in Grapevine, between Dallas and Fort Worth, played Gainesville State School, a maximum-security facility for juveniles. Faith coach Kris Hogan had asked the parents and cheerleaders of his school to split down the middle and half to go the GSS sideline and cheer for their team. Parents were even given sheets identifying the GSS players so they could cheer for them by name. Gainesville State lost 33-14, but their two touchdowns equalled their total for their first eight games.
