Play Like a Champion Today -- Detroit CC !!!

Our youngest son Brady -- a 2010 graduate of Detroit Catholic Central -- found this story yesterday about his alma mater's implementation of the Play Like a Champion Today program for its athletic department.

Detroit Catholic Central is an athletic juggernaut in the state of Michigan -- winning 52 team state championships.  My son's senior year -- they won SIX STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS -- tying the national record!
