"We think the world of Coach Hall, who modeled such courage and determination for all of us in the aftermath of our horrific school shootings. While the Sports Illustrated cover story serves as a tragic reminder of the proliferation of school violence, we're pleased that the story will provide a wider audience the opportunity read about this special man.  Chardon Schools are all the better for the time he spent here, and Ashtabula Lakeside scored big when he chose to return home."
