It was halftime at the Lake Fenton-Mount Morris game, seemingly just another high school football contest during another homecoming week on another October Friday night in another American suburb.

But this time the fix was in.

Four Lake Fenton (Mich.) football players and a co-conspirator on the golf team arranged it. Seniors all, they'd used their cell phones to hatch and agree on the plan, and then met outside the school building the afternoon before the big homecoming game to nail it down.

Lose on purpose?

Just try and read this without tearing up.

great story! thanks for sharing. Hits close to home. I got on with Team in Training this past year, which raises money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. A lot of progress has been made in the past 10 years towarss finding cures and treatment for blood-borne cancers because of the donations made to this organization. If you are looking for somewhere to make a difference with your $s, it's definitely something to consider.
