Colombiana -Colombian’s women’s basketball coach Dave Krison, on Monday, gave the team down Wellsville 52-13, and after feeling love, he looked around the gym.
“This is the reason you coach,” Crismon said. “You love winning a championship. You love winning the game, but this is the reason you coach. I will never forget this, and my wife and my family will not forget it. This is because the coach is wondering why. “
Dave said his wife, Amy, had been diagnosed in December that he had been diagnosed with a medical examination, a cause of concern, and that by December 30, he had been faced between stage 2 and 3 breast cancer. This news shakes the Crismon family and the entire Columbiana community.
“I told us a few weeks ago after a pretty big victory (beyond United),” he said. Columbian’s junior guard me gun Mosa said. “Personally, it hit me really violently. I was a hot confusion since Colombian cares about him. It’s very scary to get someone get the news.”
Columbiana’s senior Ava Heinrich took the first action.
“We were already playing cancer games against Lisbon, but it was before the news that Christon’s wife had cancer.” Colombian’s senior Ayley Venice said. “AVA came up with the idea of playing a profit game for the coach, and she gave it to me (senior) Averi Marshall. It was a great idea.”
Heinrich has created a special pink warm -up shirt for the team and the general public. Clipper’s senior player helped to give up the basket in a high school boy team and a junior high school team and gave up the basket in Monday. COLUMBIANA SCHOOLS staff and other community members also won chips.
The result was a $ 2,000 donation to the Crismon family.
“Crismon likes to say that Amy is our greatest supporter.” Venice said. “She comes to all games and sometimes she makes cookies for us. It’s a small thing she’s really a big impact on our team.”
Crismon talked to the crowd after the game and thanked their support.
Wells Bill Coach David “bug” Thompson and Assistant coach Ronnie Fields, following the end of the game, even showed support for coaches, a fellow who fought for many years in boys and girls’ games.
“it’s difficult” Thompson said. “It’s difficult to coach a game with your heart. Dave is a wonderful man and a wonderful coach. I respect him.”
After Chrismon was over, Thompson went up to him, and when he headed to the locker room, he gave him a big hug.
Crismon said he was overwhelmed by his emotions when his team first approached him about his profits.
“About two weeks ago, my senior came to me and asked if they were concerned about whether they would make a profit.” Crismon said. “It was tears from there.”
The Colombian Basketball Team knows that there will be issues in the coming weeks. The staff reassured him to take care of all of him if he had to miss it.
“My wife was like” You can’t throw away those girls. “” Crismon said. “She can say that, but I’m stuck in a position where she has to be there.”
Amy had surgery on February 17, and Clippers could play on February 18 in the semifinals in the district. Crismon believes that the game must be overlooked.
“I’ve been coaches for a long time, but they have a special team because they are doing special things on the coat.” Crismon said. “But this is a really special group of girls.”
