Joe T Story in the AJC: Pretty Darn Cool

Ok, this is a bad ass story from the AJC about Joe Tereshinski's competitive desire to win.

Joe Tereshinski went down and his shoulder went out.Three games into the 2001 Georgia Class A high school playoffs, just before halftime, the senior was lost.

"Everybody in the crowd knew it," said his brother, John Tereshinski. "He was with the trainers. He was talking with the coaches. You could see that he had dislocated his shoulder."

Then Joe Tereshinski walked out onto the field, got back behind center and started the second half.

"He did everything left-handed," John Tereshinski said. "He even passed left-handed. He finished out the game."

Joe Tereshinski never gave up. Still hasn't.

Kudos to Carter Strickland, who usually lays an egg in his articles, for a killer piece. The AJC also has a solid piece comparing Zeier's FR year to Stafford's. Seems like someone else said that would make a great article. lol.

Stafford says all the right things in his article:

"Joe T obviously knew more than all of us. Been that way since I've been here," said Stafford, his head shaved, as is a Georgia tradition for true freshmen. "No question, he deserves the job. He played great during the fall. I'm sure he'll be a great leader for us."

If you only read two articles today, check out the first one from Carter Strickland about Stafford (top of the page), and the last one from David Ching. The stuff David doesn't run in the paper is better than 99% of the stuff that the AJC is putting in their paper.
