Received the following e-mail early this morning. It requires no setup except to say the NSU Demon basketball team played at Stephen F. Austin Wednesday night.
"I would like you to congratulate Coach Mike McConathy on the character of his team.
They were all standing and giving respect to the National Anthem. They all had their hand over their heart and looking at the flag.
There are some teams where the coaches may not observe any respect themselves and the players may be talking and joking around.
This respect is a result of your coaches true goal to teach young men about life and being a good God loving American and preparing them for the future.
My Father-In-Law (Ted Jefferies) was a football coach here at SFA during the late 40's and 50's and would have known coach Turpin. He always had his players dress up when they travelled. He said if you look nice you are more apt to act nice.
I see Walter Ledet and his wife here at church with his son and family.
Please pass this on to Coach McConathy and his players so they know that people notice how young people behave and these guys are a blessing.
God Bless You
