Coaches vs. Cancer: A Minnesota Success Story

Posted by John Millea (jmillea@mshsl.org)- 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 Rest of the Story
