Character Counts During COVID

It is hard to stay focused on what really counts during, say, a global pandemic. When the hypothetical storm rages or the hypothetical fire surrounds us – we forget to act civilized. But, not these panthers. These panther athletes demonstrated their excellent personalities even when they had every excuse to quit or manifest a bad attitude. Pioneer Valley coaches nominated them for an athletic competition called… “Character Counts During COVID.” These athletes had the capacity to complain, “Why do I have to wear a mask?” etc – But, they did not.  There were three categories available for coaches to choose from: Positive Attitude, Respect for Authority, and Love the Burn.”
