Chris Lofton

Today it was reported that Chris Lofton, a point guard for the Tennessee Volunteers, had a testicular cancer scare before this last season. I don't know the whole story so I'm not going to act like I know what I'm talking about but this is a great story. Lofton and his coach, Bruce Pearl, decided that they would wait until after the season to reveal that this happened. Apparently Lofton was not ready to deal with the issue like Lance Armstrong did, and that's to be expected. Lofton and Pearl made the right decision, especially since he plays in a game where the crowds of other home teams will ridicule you for anything, no matter how serious the situation. This is definitely a testement to how hard Lofton works and how tough he really is. Nobody knows what kind of pro he's going to be, but I can confidentally say that this will definitely help his draft status. Every team could use a player like Lofton. He's a tough kid who plays with all of his heart every night. Kudos to Chris Lofton. This is a great story.
