Those who’ve earned admiration are people who voluntarily enter a place where they know they’ll come out with a beat-up body and a bruised ego - who know that, but who enter anyway.
At the top of the list of those who’ve done it recently and regularly are the Newark High School Wildcat footballers.
To march week after dreary week into the teeth of a new and nearly certain defeat is the mark of heroism, more so than those who go with hope.
These Wildcat footballers deserve our respect and our thanks as much, maybe more, than the sure shots of better years.
These guys demonstrated class and self-discipline and hard work and the willingness to take a thumping in the name of Newark High School. They are heros, really.
I hope the community will now rally on their behalf; build a bonfire; cheer for the Wildcat spirit - because this is where next football season begins.
