For the love of the game (7-26-20)

We all have our favorite sports teams that we cheer for... but do we know why or where the passion comes from?

Kq2's chris roush brings us more on why sports mean so much to two area retired coaches... <<(chris standup: adlib)(nat sound: homer and charles talking)homer ulmer...and charles roush, my grandfather, has a friendship spanning decades...which features quite a few stories to share...(sot, homer ulmer: "we've got a winning streak going.")these stories aren't possible though..if a passion for sports didn't start somewhere...(nat sound: walking through grass)the country schools charie roush attended during the early 1940s don't exist today, but the memories still remain(sot, charles roush: )sports played a big part in his early education...no matter the country school, sports were involved...(sot, charles roush: ")so as these two chatted it up and looked back at the years of coaching memories...it's hard for these two to imagine a life without sports, but they do know sports play an intricate role in kids' lives..(sot, homer ulmer: "i had a lot of fun.

It was part of their education.")another highlight of the two retired ball coaches 30-minute conversation...they knew how much their teams wanted to win, but at the same time... these two may have established something in their players that take us truly back to what sports are about...(sot, homer ulmer: play to win, but if we don't it's okay.")>>
