For the first time in 60 years - Boys Town High School in Nebraska is making a run toward a state title.
You may have caught the "Person of the Week" on ABC tonight - it was head coach Kush of the Boys Town Cowboys. He has his team playing against all odds against better and bigger schools and teams and the Cowboys are 11-0 and one win from the title game - a real life Hoosiers.
As you may know - Boys Town is a school for abused and neglected kids - teens that have no parents, have fallen through the cracks and have nowhere else to go. Made famous by the Spencer Tracy movie "Boys Town" -- I was moved watching that newsclip tonight. I hope they can take state - here's the link:
