The Quincy Exchange Club held the first of two installments of the Character Champions awards presentations last Friday at Stoney Creek Inn. The Character Champions program is designed to help coaches turn individual athletes into highly effective teams demonstrating sportsmanship and character. I had the opportunity to present the honorees a beautiful plaque from the Quincy Exchange Club.  The winners were:
