Short explanation of the story and how it developed:

Sports Reporting “Bouncing Back” Randy O’Donnell The Telegraph­Journal Many athletes have compelling personal stories but few are as riveting or as Keith Cochran’s ­­ or as grippingly told as in Randy O’Donnell’s profile of the Saint John Mill Rats guard. O’Donnell grabs the reader with an astonishing first line and then maintains the pace as he shows how a man of middling talent is determined to use sport to better a community whose problems he barely survived. Gregory Boyd Editor, The Telegraph­Journal
