According to a wonderful story in today's Independent, members of the Massillon Tiger Football Team, Coach Jason Hall, the Cheerleaders, Band, and Obie the tiger gave Paul Helsel the birthday gift of a lifetime.
Paul Helsel, a resident of the Country Lawn Nursing Care Center in Sugarcreek Township, suffers from Downs Syndrome. Helsel just turned 68, but is in declining health. According to nursing home staff, Paul Helsel loves talking about the Tigers.
Coach Hall, his players, cheerleaders, band and Obie the tiger showed up at Country Lawn to help Paul celebrate his 68th birthday. What a wonderful gesture. Coach Hall and these Washington High students should be commended for their kindness. It is actions like these that make the community proud of our football program, more proud than any victory on the field could.
Congratulations to Coach Hall, the players, cheerleaders, and the band who made Paul's birthday truly special. Tiger Pride is definitely community wide.
