Kinda late posting. However it's still a good piece. Congrats to this young man.

Just when you believe our young people don’t get it, you meet Brian Foster. Then you meet his mother, and you understand why Brian Foster gets it.
Foster is a pre-med major and a pitcher on the Southern University baseball team. The Kennesaw, Ga., native was supposed to be the starting pitcher for the Jaguars on Friday morning against Alcorn State University.
It was a Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament game that Southern had to win. Lose the game, and the Jaguars’ season was over.
At the same time, about a long fly ball away, Southern was holding graduation ceremonies in the F.G. Clark Activity Center.
Foster was in a pickle. He was supposed to be at both.
Guess what he did?
