Coaches vs. Cancer: A Minnesota Success
Story
Posted by

Updated 3/21/2011 12:11:01 PM
“Oh coach, you look so cute in pink!”
The compliment came from a smiling elementary student,
and Ellsworth High School boys basketball coach Tyler
Morris smiled right back. He was wearing a white shirt,
pink tie and pink sweater vest on this special Saturday
in January.
Pink, in fact, was the color of the day because it was
Coaches vs. Cancer night in Ellsworth. The occasion was
a boys basketball game; the Ellsworth Panthers have a
reputation for excellence in the sport, winning Class 1A
state titles in 2007 and 2008 and finishing second at
state in 2003, 2006 and 2009.
One of the smallest schools in Minnesota with an
enrollment of only 61 students in grades nine through
12, Ellsworth (Morris is pictured at right) also has
become a champion at raising funds to fight cancer. In
2010, Ellworth’s Coaches vs. Cancer event brought in
more than $1,500. This year, the total was more than
$2,200. For such a small school in a rural southwestern
Minnesota community of approximately 500 people, those
are amazing numbers. Read the
