I am a West Orange Stark football fan. I witnessed the game between Gilmer and WOS last Saturday in Lufkin.

It was a clean, hard-fought football game between two very good teams.

But what I noticed the most was the sportsmanship of both the fans and the players from Gilmer.

These young people (football team, cheerleaders, band) represented their school and their city very well.

It is the parents, teacher and coaches that instill these values in our kids, and a great job is being done by all in the town of Gilmer, Texas. Best of luck to the Buckeyes.
