One year, when John Callard was teaching a writing composition course at University of Pittsburgh, he had three student athletes known as the Killer T's — a nickname the trio gained when playing for the then-undefeated high school football team, the Clairton Bears.
Callard was struck by the way the students wrote about their hometown and set out to meet the coach and experience the town for himself.
Callard was welcomed into the Bears community and now is writing a book about family and football. ([link removed])
Get a taste for Callard's experiences in his first-person essay below. ⬇️
