The last four years LaMarr Woodley and former Michigan State University football player and current St. Louis Rams defensive lineman Clifton Ryan started the Hero's for Kids golf tournament in Saginaw. Usually 20 football players from Michigan and MSU play in this event to help raise money for the kids.
This year, the Michigan football players have run into a conflict. That conflict is Barwis.
"It's a big disappointment for all of us," Preston said. "The (U-M) players always have said how much they enjoy Heroes For Kids, and the strength and conditioning coach (Mike Barwis) said he wants to work with us on this next year."But this workout is mandatory, and all players must attend. It's coach Rod's call on that. This is his first year (at U-M), and he's doing everything he can to make sure his team is successful."Jamie Morris has set up for some Michigan student athletes from the Womens Gynanistics and Basketball team to attend the event. Also Roy Manning, Jr. a former Michigan football player will also participate.
Hopefully they can work the schedule next year so the players can play in this event while at the same time givnig the time they need to put into Barwis. This event has raised more than $250,000 for Saginaw youth recreation during the first three years.
