Franklin High School, Jonathon Montanez Raises the Bar

In this clip, Steve Hartman of CBS News relates a story of high school basketball and sportsmanship.

I often feel that there are a few players who play the game considering the consequences beyond the field or court. The touchdown dance celebrates the effort, but what impression does it leave with the fans?

In a brief moment while waiting to inbound a pass toward the end of the game, Jonathon Montanez, displayed more character and sportsmanship by passing the ball to Mitchell Marcus, than is displayed by many players who make much more money than he does.

Enjoy the story and I challenge you to watch it with a dry eye.
