and the commentary...

Just briefly, pray for the Dixon family and for families like their's. Somehow they went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows in three weeks. Their tragedy is crushing, but there are plenty of similar stories that do not happen to individuals as high-profile. Nonetheless, it is a tragedy.
I actually followed the Dixon story after Army made the conference final. I saw the highlights of their thrilling victory and Coach Dixon being carried around the court by the cadets. The sheer joy of the cadets in winning that game was so evident in that moment, it almost brought tears to the eyes.
In the days and weeks following, I saw a SportsCenter piece on Maggie and Jaime Dixon, who coaches the Pitt men's team. They were on ESPN's Cold Pizza and were having so much fun.
Now, the family mourns a death that came far too soon. Thankfully, God is in control and this is somehow part of a perfect will. It doesn't make sense and really is not supposed to.
I guess Maggie Dixon is coaching a team in heaven now.
