we can’t thank Coach Tyrone White enough. He has helped the students and group so much along the way. We would be remissed if we didn’t thank “BJ” for his support as well.

Ohio high school football powerhouses St. Ignatius and St. Xavier team up to shed light on the issue of youth-on-youth violence. The players honored slain UConn football player Jasper Howard by wearing #6 decals, donated by Rotary International, on their helmets during their game Oct. 24, 2009.
Aside from the players, special recognition is due to Ignatius assistant coach Tyrone White, who sought MaxPreps out to help shed light on this worthwhile endeavor during our week-long visit on the Nike 5 Days 2 Friday Road Tour.
This is not an isolated case of goodwill, but a snowballing nationwide social movement in the sports community, so stand up!

Some St. Ignatius High School football players have decided that recent news headlines call for them to do more than tutor or feed the homeless to fulfill their school’s service requirement.
They’re launching a county-wide movement against youth violence, and began Friday by visiting with Justin Winemiller, who was beaten viciously Sept. 5 on his way home from the St. Rocco’s Festival on the near West Side.
A half dozen members of the Cleveland school’s undefeated football team met Winemiller and his mother at the Cleveland Police Department 2nd District headquarters, where they also got a chance to say thanks to the officer who stopped the beating.
Winemiller, who is recovering from a broken jaw, received an armful of gifts from the student-athletes, including a St. Ignatius T-shirt, an envelope of collected cash and an invitation to be guest of honor at their next home game, Oct. 17, against Detroit’s Inkster High.
The teens, led by assistant football coach Tyrone White, said their game will begin with a moment of silence, so attendees can reflect on recent incidents of youth violence and consider what they can do to stop it. They intend to ask local high schools to institute a moment of silence at sporting events for the rest of the year.
