But his story resembles no other. Burned in a terrible house fire when he was a small child, Wair overcame all odds just to live. Disfigured by his injuries, he found that on a football field he was free of the grief and hardship that had defined his life.
It’s all in a story that aired this morning on ESPN SportsCenter. This high profile good news story centers right here on the Iron Range.
The Norse won their opening game 61-31 over Rochester.
