Amid the Grieving, A Rare Act of Sportmanships
-Associated Press-
The coach never considered any other option.
It didn't matter that his DeKalb, Ill., High School basketball team had ridden a bus two and a half hours to get to Milwaukee, then waited another hour past game time to play. Didn't matter that the game was close, or that this was a chance to beat a big city team.
Johntel Franklin scored 10 points in the game following the loss of his mother.
Something else was on Dave Rohlman's mind when he asked for a volunteer to shoot two free throws awarded his team on a technical foul in the second quarter. His senior captain raised his hand, ready to go to the line as he had many times before.
Only this time it was different.
"You realize you're going to miss them, don't you?" Rohlman said.
Darius McNeal nodded his head. He understood what had to be done.
It was a Saturday night in February, and the Barbs were playing a non-conference game on the road against Milwaukee Madison. It was the third meeting between the two schools, who were developing a friendly rivalry that spanned two states.
The teams planned to get together after the game and share some pizzas and soda. But the game itself almost never took place.
Hours earlier, the mother of Milwaukee Madison senior captain Johntel Franklin died at a local hospital. Carlitha Franklin had been in remission after a five-year fight with cervical cancer, but she began to hemorrhage that morning while Johntel was taking his college ACT exam.
Her son and several of his teammates were at the hospital late that afternoon when the decision was made to turn off the life-support system. Carlitha Franklin was just 39.
"She was young and they were real close," said Milwaukee coach Aaron Womack Jr., who was at the hospital. "He was very distraught and it happened so suddenly he didn't have time to grieve."
Womack was going to cancel the game, but Franklin told him he wanted the team to play. And play they did, even though the game started late and Milwaukee Madison dressed only eight players.
Early in the second quarter, Womack saw someone out of the corner of his eye. It was Franklin, who came there directly from the hospital to root his teammates on.
The Knights had possession, so Womack called a time out. His players went over and hugged their grieving teammate. Fans came out of the stands to do the same.
"We got back to playing the game and I asked if he wanted to come and sit on the bench," Womack said during a telephone interview.
"No," Franklin replied. "I want to play."
There was just one problem. Since Franklin wasn't on the pre-game roster, putting him in meant drawing a technical foul that would give DeKalb two free throws.
Though it was a tight game, Womack was willing to give up the two points. It was more important to help his senior guard and co-captain deal with his grief by playing.
Over on the other bench, though, Rohlman wasn't so willing to take them. He told the referees to forget the technical and just let Franklin play.
"I could hear them arguing for five to seven minutes, saying, `We're not taking it, we're not taking it," Womack said. "The refs told them, no, that's the rule. You have to take them."
That's when Rohlman asked for volunteers, and McNeal's hand went up.
He went alone to the free throw line, dribbled the ball a couple of times, and looked at the rim.
His first attempt went about two feet, bouncing a couple of times as it rolled toward the end line. The second barely left his hand.
It didn't take long for the Milwaukee players to figure out what was going on.
They stood and turned toward the DeKalb bench and started applauding the gesture of sportsmanship. Soon, so did everybody in the stands.
"I did it for the guy who lost his mom," McNeal told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "It was the right thing to do."
They may not remember our record 20 years from now, but they'll remember what happened in that gym that night.
? Dave Rohlman, head coach of the opposing DeKalb team on what his players will take away from this experience.
Franklin would go on to score 10 points, and Milwaukee Madison broke open the game in the second half to win 62-47. Afterward, the teams went out for pizza, two players from each team sharing each pie.
Franklin stopped by briefly, thankful that his team was there for him.
"I got kind of emotional but it helped a lot just to play," he said. "I felt like I had a lot of support out there."
Carlitha Franklin's funeral was last Friday, and the school turned out for her and her son. Cheerleaders came in uniform, and everyone from the principal and teachers to Johntel's classmates were there.
"Even the cooks from school showed up," Womack said. "It lets you know what kind of kid he is."
Basketball is a second sport for the 18-year-old Franklin, who says he has had some scholarship nibbles and plans to play football in college. He just has a few games left for the Knights, who are 6-11 and got beat 71-36 Tuesday night by Milwaukee Hamilton.
It hasn't been the greatest season for the team, but they have stuck together through a lot of adversity.
"We maybe don't have the best basketball players in the world but they go to class and take care of business," Womack said. "We have a losing record but there's life lessons going on, good ones."
None so good, though, as the moment a team and a player decided there were more important things than winning and having good stats.
Yes, DeKalb would go home with a loss. But it was a trip they'll never forget.
"This is something our kids will hold for a lifetime," Rohlman said. "They may not remember our record 20 years from now, but they'll remember what happened in that gym that night."

KITE
I hid myself from failure and fear
O my dear you're a threat to the bad in us all
They tell themselves that each word from your lips
Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall
Over the twilight you're listening for me
Darling, go to sleep
Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be
Loved so deep
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight
Don't hide yourself inside till I'm old
O my dear you're a threat to the bad we all see
I'm beside myself for the touch of your lips
Or the grace of your eyes that can see good in me
Over the twilight you're listening for me
Darling, go to sleep
Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be
Loved so deep
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight
O my dear you're a threat to the bad in us all
They tell themselves that each word from your lips
Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall
Over the twilight you're listening for me
Darling, go to sleep
Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be
Loved so deep
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite

Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string

Faint
Yak Valentine's Day akhirnya secara resmi diharamkan sama MUI Jabar...hihi it's kind of funny....makin banyak hal2 yang difatwain haram sama MUI, kayaknya kok makin ngga credible aja ya tu? At least buat gue pribadi sih gitu ya....jadi makin ngga ada artinya aja deh.
Ini juga bukan berarti gue pendukung Valentine's Day ya...gue sih go with the flow aja...mo ngerayain hayu...mo ngga ngerayain juga hayu...Banyak sih emang yang berpendapat kalo "kasih sayang itu kan harusnya tiap hari...ngga cuma pas valentine's day doang". Iya kok bener...gue setuju...cuma ya nice aja juga buat couples buat punya 1 hari special dimana kita bisa ngelakuin something extra buat someone special kita. Realistically speaking...ga mungkin deh tiap hari pasangan kita ngasih bunga/kado lucu/permen kan...ga ekonomis juga mending duitnya ditabung buat masa depan hihi. So...buat yang emang ga ngerayain Valentine's Day...bisa juga kan hari special itu dirayain misalnya pas setaun jadian...atau yang emang udah common maybe like wedding anniversary...or something like that lah...So true...couples don't have to celebrate Valentine's Day..for whatever reasons including religious. But they do need to pick a day as a special day for both of them. Keeps the romance alive, if you know what I mean ;)
Yah eniwei..kok jadi ngelantur gini ya hehehehe. Gue akhirnya udah masuk kerja lagi hari ini albeit being a rag doll figure (head lolls on top of the chair, that type of thing)..masih lemes banget lah intinya..tapi the good thing is I felt better when I woke up this morning...and just hope that it doesn't deteriorate any further than it has been up to now. Ohh..still 2 more hours to go...wish the time can go sooner...getting faint nih...huhuhu I wish somebody could drive me home. Tadi sih rencananya pergi mau dianterin aja tapi berhubung supir bokap ngga masuk hari ini jadi gue nyetir ndiri deh...Man...so not looking forward to the drive home..lemes abis
Yah eniwei lagi....am so sorry for missing Edhy's wedding last weekend. It sounded like so much fun. I was looking forward to go, heck, I organized the trip! But because of this gosh-darn virus I had to stay. But it's good that I still got a chance to meet Roberto. Well, congrats2 Edhy, you're officially a husband now!!! Yay Edhy!

Ngeeng
Oh dear Lord what's happening to me. Feeling full of spirit but my body betrays me. One thing after another hits me through and through, from a little thing to a bigger issue. I need to just keep going on and on. But how can it be when it is my own body and my own mind that hinder me.
So, no support from my physical side, and constant maze from the emotional side. What do I have left?

Brrrrrr.......
Aseli dingin bangettt disiniii. Sering banget ngga sih gue ngeluh ttg dinginnya kantor gue? hihihi...you would think this girl will eventually wisen up and bring a jacket to work and just leave it there just in case the temperature drops again to fridge-level like now (my fingers are purple!)
Tadinya hari ini gue ada jadwal meeting ma klien, ketemu ama dir um nya sekalian. Tapi akhirnya ngga jadi and diundurnya sampe hari Selasa (today's Thursday) next week. Wew....hehehe
Gue kok jadi sangsi ya ini project bakal jadi..yah we'll see dehh
Waah minggu depan mo ke Pemalaang...mo jalan2 naik keretaaaa..semangat deh soalnya udah lama ngga naek kereta. Terakhir naek kereta kalo ngga salah waktu sebelom gue hijrah ke Amrik deh, waktu tol Cipularang belom jadi, jadinya gue kalo travel Jkt-Bdg senengnya naek kereta.
Moga2 kereta yang ke Pemalang kayak Parahyangan. Soalnya gue pernah nyoba naek Argo buat jkt-bdg juga, tapi gue ga sukaaaaa.....walopun katanya Argo supposedly lebih baru, lebih cepet n lebih modern (jadinya lebih mahal juga ituuuu). Gue lebih suka Parahyangan soalnya goyangnya lebih kerasa hahahahaha. Hehhh jangan pada mikir jorok dulu dongg (yes, you Budi...haha gue nembak langsung gt), maksudnya kan enak gitu serasa lebih keayun....jadi bobonya lebih nyenyak...Sama dgn teori gue bahwa tidur di mobil itu adalah tidur terenak dan ternyenyak soalnya serasa dibuai, goyang2 gitu kann...hehehe
Trus2...gue juga belom pernah ke Pemalang...kalo kata temen gue Joko the pilot sih, aerial view (alias pemandangan dari atas)nya Pemalang itu bagus...jadi penasaran. And...to attend Pemi's wedding....ahirnyaaa gue (insyaallah) bisa dateng jg ke nikahan temen St. Louis...selama ini g skip mulu krn gue ngga pernah ada di lokasi yg memungkinkan. Aryo, Ro'i, Yoyo....hiks hiks maap ya guyss....gue jg pengen banget dateng hiks hiks. Untung gue udah sempet ketemuan ama Ro'i dan istrinya yang lagi hamil (hihihi lucunyaaaa).
Truuus....apa lagi ya...gila nih gue kayanya sedikit demi sedikit mulai keilangan kreatifitas gini..apa gara2 jarang di stimulate ya? Mungkin gue harus lebih sering berkarya lagi before it's too late and I lose all my creative juice huhuhuhuhu
