The Lauren Hill Game From The Other Side

((HT: CBS News))

We all remember the Lauren Hill story from last week...

Our coverage is hyah of the game, the day after, and all the reaction...

CBS News' Steve Hartman put the story at a 180-degree angle and this is what he saw...

He went to the Hiram College side and found an entirely unexpected perspective...


Is it dusty in here or is it us...???

Lauren Hill: The Next Day

((HT: WCPO-TV))

The HQ showed you a little bit of the story from Cincinnati on Sunday with Mount St. Joseph's hoops player Lauren Hill as she got to play her first college basketball game over the weekend as she fights DIPG- an unforgiving form of brain cancer.

So, what now...???

That's really a question for all of us as we move forward with windows greater than Lauren's...

Brother Phil's buddy Popo caught up with her to find out what she thought about what happened over the weekend...


The Cure Starts Now Foundation is where people battling pediatric cancer (and those who wish to help in the fight) can go in the future. If this is something that encourages you as we all move to our next days, check them out.

We'll keep you posted on MSJ's season...

Lauren Hill's First Collegiate Game

((HT: Fox Sports))

The story is nothing short of amazing...

Mount St. Joseph's post player Lauren Hill is fighting DIPG- a cancer that attaches itself to the brain stem and spiders out from there. It's an inoperable brain tumor that has given all of us the chance to learn about this monster and how we can possibly attack it from this moment on.

The cancer has given her a more evil diagnosis and a very short timetable- maybe a month or so.

The MSJ season opener with Hiram College was moved up- thanks to the NCAA giving special papal dispensation- and the game was moved to Xavier University's arena. The 10,000-plus seat arena sold out in an hour.

And, as it should have been, Hill made the first and last baskets in the game.

Here's the first basket on the day...


Here's Brad Johansen and Debbie Antonelli with Lauren when the game was secondary to the voice of the day

7 Year-Old Gets TD At Nebraska Spring Game

((HT: BTN/Yarina))

And it's for a good reason...

Jack Hoffman, a seven-year-old Huskers fan, is fighting brain cancer. He formed a special bond with Nebraska's Rex Burkhead that started last season.

He attended this year's Red-White Spring Game and got a hand-off late in the game...
Easy to figure out what happened... even if we did give it away with the headline...

Here's the highlight... and it's all that...


Just cool...
