One thought on “Lopresti: Sports legends’ endings come in many flavors

  1. That’s a wonderful piece, Mike, as usual. Thanks so much.

    Sometime when you are looking for something historical like this to write about, how about tracking the eventual career of the legendary coach Marvin Wood who led the Milan 1954 high school basketball team to the IHSAA State Championship?
