Grid Kids deserve headlines

Published: November 13, 2011 

How sad is it when you have teams and teams of little guys, ages 8 to 13, play their hearts out in the Super Bowl of the year for Grid Kids, and the Herald can't even represent these teams of kids and coaches. We can sure put in the paper articles about soccer and other events from the pros, but can't take one page to discuss and congratulate these local boys for being the best they can be.

Also a big thank you to all the coaches and assistants for dedicating their time to work with these teams and teach them what team sports and sportsmanship is all about. You should be honored. And to the Tri-City community, if you ever want to watch a real game of football, you should take in a Grid Kid game. Some of these guys could be pro ball players in 10 or 15 years.

Stop and think, Tri-City Herald. The Tri-Cities is where the news is at. For a final word, congratulations to the teams that won this year's Super Bowl. All of you played a fantastic game, whether you won or lost.
