Two teens, two physical obstacles, one friendship

Occasionally, I've posted a great story I've seen. There's no question about this one finding its way to my blog.

It aired the morning of August 2 on ESPN, the tale of a couple of teens who have been friends for just a year. To an extent, I can relate to having to make quick friends, earn trust and put your own towards the right people. Fate brought Leroy Sutton and Dartanyon Crockett together, each with their own life's obstacles, some of which are evident right away, others not so much. What they share makes for a remarkable, inspirational piece that teaches lessons on so many levels.

I think you'd be hard-pressed to spend 13 minutes better than this. These are the tales storytellers dream they can tell.
