Roddie Edmonds was a Master Sergeant in the United States Army. In late 1944, Edmonds was captured in the Battle of the Bulge and held at a German POW camp. In January 1945, the Nazis ordered all Jewish-American POWs to step forward. Edmonds, the highest-ranking noncommissioned officer at the camp, ordered all 1,000 US soldiers to step forward, regardless of their religion.   A German commander demanded that Edmonds identify the Jewish soldiers. Edmonds replied, "We are all Jews here." The commander threatened to shoot him if he did not comply. Edmonds refused, saying, "If you shoot, you'll have to shoot us all." The commander backed down.   Edmonds' actions are credited with saving the lives of 200 Jewish soldiers. In 2015, he was posthumously named Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem and was the first American soldier to receive the honor.   Edmonds' story is a reminder of the courage and compassion of those who stood up to the Nazis during World War II. He is a true hero, and his legacy will never be forgotten.

Big game tonight for Westhampton and Sayville. Coach Hansen and the Hurricanes first played each other in 1929 to a 0 - 0 tie. I think there will be more points tonight.

Wrote this story a little less than a year ago about the courage of Bethpage trainer Joe Killeen in his fight against pancreatic cancer. He was such a brave man. He passed away this week and I'll miss him. newsday.com/sports/high-scho… via @Newsday

This was a Coach for a youth football team in Dallas, Texas. I don’t know this Coach and I’ve never met him a day in my life… but I do know that he didn’t deserve to have his life taken in front of his 9 year old son over no damn little football. RIP Coach Mike🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

23 years. 162 wins. 25 All-Region players. 12 All Americans. 8 championship titles. 7 Coach of the Year awards. 6 NCAA tournament appearances. But the most important number is the number of lives he’s touched. And we can’t count that high. ♾ 💛#ThankYouCoachCollins

This needs to be said... if you're an athlete, a parent or a high school sports fan, see your Athletic Director and thank them. Schedules constantly change with COVID protocols and its a miracle these men and women have figured out what has been an insane puzzle so far. Kudos!

The first game played between both schools in 1929 just days before the Stock Market Crash and Great Depression. There is evidence of both teams playing football in late 1800s and early 1900s but 1929 is considered for both schools the official start of both programs.
