Yet now, the team's entire spring season is uncertain.
This the biggest blow this team has ever seen.'This is one of those programs that change your life,' said Coach Jason Goodnight.Coach Goodnight teaches so many life lessons on and off the field – and he considers this a teachable moment too.'You face adversity like this - not only in a situation like this, but in life,' Goodnight said, 'and it's just a lesson that you have to keep going even when it gets hard.'And it's hard now. Abdullah Masari, 13, lives nearby.
