A Spark: The Tim Delaney Story

This book perfectly captures exactly what a true high school football coach is supposed to be, and how Tim Delaney embodies it. A teacher, a father figure, a mentor, a friend, a leader. And when all of those things come together, a deserving champion. The fact that Tim was able to win a state title given the circumstances and constraints he's faced, is a great example of perseverance for the very young men he's coached. And the fact that he did it in his native Buffalo, at his alma mater South Park High School, makes this story even more amazing and special. John does a wonderful job of telling the story of a special coach, a special team, and a special season. Sal Capaccio, Buffalo radio and television personality, and former high school football coach
