A Game to Remember and An Even Better Story
by Rich Manieri, March 5, 2021
The basketball game ended. Then, something happened that I haven t seen.
Every member of the winning team stood and cheered the players they had just defeated; six members of the Asbury University women s basketball team. There were only six Asbury players in uniform to laud. The rest of the team was in COVID quarantine.
The standing ovation was an acknowledgement by the winners, from West Virginia Tech, that they had just witnessed something unusual, something heroic. This was more than a ceremonial handshake or fist bump. This was a tribute to the extraordinary.
