MENTOR, Ohio (WJW) – While some athletes and coaches take a 'win at all costs ' approach to sports, a local high school football player is being saluted for a display of empathy not often seen on the gridiron. The demonstration of sportsmanship came after a hard-fought game between Mentor High School and Lake County neighbor, Riverside. The game came down to the final play, and if the Riverside kicker made a short field goal, the Beavers would pull off a big upset. But the kick sailed wide right, giving Mentor a 7 to 6 victory.
