OT (sorta) - Gateway High School Football

[rundeal]

Short back story - Gateway High School is associated with Syracuse since Alec's mom and I are alums, and orange is one of our school colors.

Following the Aurora shootings over the summer, Gateway made the news as it was the holding area for families awaiting word on survivors, and victims. The video, at the link below, highlights the struggle of a school dealing with overcoming the tragedy of that day. Football plays a big part in this story...

For what it's worth, if you don't cry when watching this...my pride in being an Oly has never been greater...

What a touching video. Definitely some damp cheeks here. There's another SU link to that shooting too.
