Feel Good Friday: Basketball and Friendship

Feel Good Friday: Basketball and Friendship

In Syracuse Nation, we are all still reeling from an early exit from the NCAA tournament.  Although I’d like to forget about basketball for awhile longer, this edition of Feel Good Friday brings a heartwarming story a high school basketball team and friendship.  I should note: this is a story lowers your spirits (cancer), before raising them.

Here is a description of this Steve Hartman story from the CBS website:

Steve Hartman meets a high school basketball team in North Carolina that decided to play one game for someone other than themselves … and when the game came down to the wire, something remarkable happened.
