Coach Clafton of Greenway

Things might not be going very well for Greenway on the ice but there are some great things off the ice. Coach Clafton took the team to a residence for kids with cancer (Donte Lawson’s little brother has spent time there). This is not an isolated occurrence. He has them volunteering throughout the community. I know first hand of this as he has sent the team to help run kid’s games at a local town celebration. He is a great model and the players and community are the beneficiaries.

I wish stuff like that would get promoted more by the school out to other news sources. I think Grand Rapids has their activity/athletic director post things like this on twitter to show where the various sports teams are volunteering, but I haven't seen much from other range schools. (not to say they aren't doing anything)

Kudos to Coach Clafton for doing things like this.
