I am admittedly old school, but I am very encouraged by the attitude displayed by Solon Page. He will be a contributor and hopefully a tackling dynamo a la Reeves-Mabin. But he is a first class Champion for Life. If you tear this young man down, or the coach who recognizes a quality human being, you really need to get your priorities in line. Here is wishing you the best Solon Page!
