Bruin Team Really Scored With Treatment of Youth
- Share via
The award for most moving sports story goes to Bill Plaschke for his story on the NCAA champion UCLA soccer team’s encounter with a young man with Down syndrome [Dec. 16]. Sigi Schmid and his entire team are hereby named to the first-team All-American squad in the game of life. Shea Travis may not know what time it is, but someone has a halo to replace the championship watch he gave to the young man.
