"First Class Ticket" -- a great sports story from yesterday's Globe, on the boys basketball team from the New Leadership Charter School in Springfield, MA. This all-senior squad represents the first graduating class of the school, and they made it all the way to the Division III state championships yesterday. It's a screenplay waiting to happen: gritty urban setting, families pushing for better education, the charter school has no gym, the school's custodian doubles as the basketball coach and father figure...it's all there! These sound like great young men, and I'm sad to report they lost by a heartbreaking 3 points to Rockland. But what a great story...paging Ron Howard...
