Re: Grab a tissue before you read
This is so freaking awesome!!! Kudos to the Faith coach, players and supporters!!!
What this story fails to mention that the Texas Youth Commission has come under some really trying times in the past few years. Not only are they dealing with these kids and with the problems that put them there in the first place; in the past few years the kids in some facilities have faced abuses by the TYC guards.
To see these kids have a bit of hope and shown compassion is truly a gift that will hopefully touch a heart or two to facilitate a positive change in their lives.

Re: Grab a tissue before you read
What a great story! 
My boys wanted to know what I was crying about and it took a couple of minutes to collect myself enough to tell them.
God bless the people of Faith H.S. and God bless those kids, that they'll turn things around in their lives.
