Despite a 53-0 loss, St. John's coach gets the 'win' by surviving an in-game heart attack
The Frederick News-Post
Head coach Daryl Hayes' St. John's Catholic Prep football team suffered a 53-0 loss to host Concordia Prep on Saturday.
Normally, it's the kind of game every Vikings coach and player would rather forget. Instead, it may well go down as one of the most inspirational games in St. John's football history.
That's because during the second half, Hayes continued to coach after suffering a heart attack, finishing out what could prove to be his team's last game of a season that started late and might end earlier than expected because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Frustrated with governmental inaction, local coaches convene with a plan
The Mercury News
A group of more than 100 California high school coaches convened over Zoom this week to draw out their mission: After months of waiting out the coronavirus pandemic, they want student-athletes back playing organized sports again.
Hope that the games will soon return is dwindling fast as scheduled practice dates for early-to-mid-December draw closer without any recommended health and safety guidelines for how to proceed with the football season — or any sport — handed down from state health officials.

How water helps boost student mental health
By Sheilamary Koch and Ayla Reguero Koch
Most of us have experienced times when an ocean, river rapids, a waterfall or a very cold swimming pool has demanded our attention or inspired awe. Water is indeed a powerful force of nature. However, it’s not commonly thought of as part of the educator’s toolkit (unless perhaps you’re teaching Montessori or marine biology). This article may change your mind. Oceans and water in general can be used by educators to benefit student learning both as a mindfulness tool and a boost to brain functioning.
