Great News

Awesome stuff out of Quinter.

Football coach Greg Woolf, whose diagnosis of non-Hogkins Lymphoma kept him off of the Bulldogs' sidelines for most of the season and went on to win the 8-Man Division I state title, found out this week that his cancer is in remission.

Woolf told his team the news after the second game of the season and began chemotherapy treatments in Omaha, Nebr. in the following weeks. He has a few more followup treatments but it looks like he is in the clear.

Woolf makes no apologies about his faith said that exact faith is what got him and his family through that trying time.

In the short time I have been out here, Woolf is one of the nicest, most gracious men I have met. He had no problem sharing his experience with the diagnosis and letting me into the program to get a sense of how he and the players were dealing with the ordeal.

Winning the state championship that season was the ultimate achievement for Quinter. This is better.

Good coach, great person, awesome stuff.
