The family went out for dinner this weekend and the restaurant had ESPN on. To my surprise, they were showing wrestling! The segment was about these two wrestlers.

I was asked how a person who is blind or doesn't have full use of his legs could wrestle. Dedication, heart, ability to push through the tough boundaries, and traits like those are examples of what these kids are all about.

Great segment by ESPN about two good, tough kids!

I saw that on ESPN. Lump in my throat. Leroy Sutton & Dartanyan Crockett are ambassadors of the sport.

Those guys made no excuses, had positive attitudes and gave it their all on the mat. Coaches: wouldn't it be nice to fill all of your weight classes with that attitude?

That segment is right up there with "Vision Quest." They are champions in my eyes.

Somebody in the Cleveland area please look these guys up and help them network for a future career. They certainly have the work ethic.
