A note of praise for Pop Warner coaches

Dear Editor:

We just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the coaches of the Pop Warner C Team: Doug Ragusa, Lee Bryant and Craig Allen.

Like all coaches, their volunteerism is what makes youth sports possible through their commitment and donation of their time. This triumvirate seems to have mastered the balance between dedication, athleticism, and a playful sense of fun. Each was an artful teacher sharing his love of the game and extending words of encouragement throughout the season.

Whether you were a seasoned player, a rookie, offensive or defensive lineman, first string or injured reserve, you were treated as an integral part of the team. They demonstrated how to win with dignity and lose with grace.

When the season came to a close, the boys were left with the gift of much more than just the winning season! Our community is fortunate to have such wonderful role models for our young boys.

Janet and Jerry LaBelle
