Greene head football coach Tim Paske is always looking for ways to find inspiration. not just for himself, but for his players. He has created numerous team-bonding activities over the years, among those being movie night. Paske went a step further Wednesday night when he traveled to Cortland for a speech by Herman Boone. Boone was the central character in the 2000 movie “Remember the Titans,” starring Denzel Washington. Boone headed up a football team that brought together white and black players at recently-integrated T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Va. the central theme of the movie revolved around the area’s still-pervasive racism, and the bonding of players – black and white – through football.
