Just what we needed: The front page article in the Maine Sunday Telegram (“Grieving Brunswick, York high school athletes find comfort in sports,” May 25) on the best of what youth sports can be about.

So much recent focus on the bullying in male high school teams (important) needed this counterbalance to show how young men can be there for each other during tough times. As noted in the story, it doesn’t always require words, feeling words being especially difficult at that age. Much can be expressed in action.

In these days, with so much horror in national and international governance, reminders of the good to be found in each of us is so important. A great way to start our Sunday morning.
