From The Bronx to Happy Valley, A Rugby Success Story
August 24, 2010 at 8:58 am Ryan Jones Leave a comment
ABC’s Good Morning America on Monday featured the story of a high school rugby team in the south Bronx, one of whose stars, Arnold Chavis, is now a Penn State undergrad. Chavis was adopted as a child, grew up in one of the worst neighborhoods in the country, and lost a brother to gang violence; with help from a couple of committed coaches and the focus provided by an unlikely sport, he’s now the first member of his family to attend college.
You can read his story and watch the GMA feature here.
