As soon as he's done with handshakes/Alma Mater Ohio, LaVon always, always, goes to the northwest corner of the end zone. I'm pretty sure he's greeting family over there. He then runs along the visiting bench area thanking/shouting to any other fans who catch his attention. It doesn't surprise me that he would do a kind thing for your nephew and other kids. This is how memories are made. This is how young Bobcat fans are made. Thanks for sharing your story, Y City.

LaVon (and many of the other players) give away their gloves and wristbands and anything else to all the kids almost every game. You can tell they appreciate the fans.

While I agree completely, there is a true irony here. The bobcatattack archives, had they not been erased, would reveal some interesting posts about LaVon, at the time he was first announced, not from OCF, but from others. As I have a long memory, I will remind some that LaVon did not play football in high school at all until his Senior year. Why? The reason was because he had a troubled youth, and was not eligible until then. He suddenly realized that he was wasting his life, and that academics were important, and turned his life around. He became eligible, became a star, and earned a scholarship offer from Ohio. Some here argued that taking a chance on a guy with that background was unwise. I argued the reverse - that he had learned his lesson, and that while he might face some challenges along the way, I thought he would turn out to be a role model.

Congratulations to LaVon, not only for his outstanding career here, and for the future I expect him to have, but especially for his academic successes, and for the kinds of things that are posted here on this thread about him.

Thanks, Ryan.
