Reaction to Player’s Suspension

This letter is in response to an article in the July 2 South Bay sports section about the suspension of Peninsula High girls’ basketball player Mimi McKinney by Coach Wendell Yoshida.

There are still some coaches left who haven’t abandoned the principles of sport. (Yoshida) holding his students accountable to certain behavior, morals and ethics for the good of the team as well as the individual seems to be rare today.

Imagine not rewarding bad behavior and lowering standards--such as missing practices and classes.

How refreshing! Excellence is alive in some school systems and should be noted.
