As proud as I am of the Tribe's accomplishments on the field, I'm most proud of the character and perspective emodied in our players. In the gallery below OT Mike Salazar, and LBs Evan Francks, Wes Steinman and Dante Cook spent a day working with kids in area summer camps. There will be more of this over the next couple of weeks, with the team spreading out the week of August 2 to spend time with area youth football teams who begin practice then. Tribe players are involved in community service year round, and all you need do is look at the faces of the players and the kids to see that both sides get alot out of this.

These boards are always quick to publicize problems with players, so let's use this thread to celebrate the real character of our teams. The vast majority of our guys are true role models who work their tails off and are caring, and giving people. Tell us about your players, and all they do for your school, and your community.

It's nice to see the young men showing an interest in the kids that look up to them.

Things like this not only benefit the kids but also the players as well. Rock on, W&M players.

My brother is playing high school ball in Missoula and a former Griz is one of the coachs. He's brought in Colt Anderson, Shann Shillinger, Marc Mariani, and others to help with drills and speak to the kids. Very nice move by them all.

Billy Riddle missed the 2007 season for App State in order to take a missionary trip to Sudan.

Everyone wins when players give back
