Great video/story on sportsmanship from Montana

Here is a link to a great video on sportsmanship out of the Montana wrestling scene. Chad Otterness passed this link on to me; the wrestler that wanted to do the exhibition match is from the school he's now a principal at (Cascade, MT). It's worth the few minutes to see the impact wrestling can have on individuals and a community, and how wrestling contributes to life's greater lessons and joys.
