Herschel in the news.
Herschel just competed in the National Goal Ball Tournament held in Utah this year. The Utah Men's Team took Silver, losing to Florida last weekend.
Goalball is a sport designed for the blind, the article explains more about the origins and play of goalball. Herschel was introduced to Goalball last fall when he started blind school and was fortunate to make the Utah Men's team earlier this spring, despite the fact he's only been playing a few months compared to the other blind athletes that have been playing for years.
Here is a link to the article spotlighting him and another teenager that just graduated and were able to make the Utah teams. There's also video that includes a short interview if you're interested.
