Coach providing athletes ‘valuable’ incentive

Buck Crosby handed me $1 million the other day. Then, without blinking, he handed me a $1,000 bill.

No kidding. The Douglas High track and field coach just reached into his bag on the team bus at the Maynard Mai Glide Invitational earlier this month and handed the money over to me.

The man is loaded. He had a whole stack of $1 million bills and $1,000 bills in his bag. He usually gives those to the athletes on his team. But, just this once, he made an exception.

That's a cool coach. I wish my coach did that cuz there are a lot of people on my team that don't try.
