  • Rost inspires 'Dawgs

    One of the biggest motivators for New Albany’s football team is a young man who will never hear the crowd cheer or his name called out. Despite his hearing loss, Michael Rost has served as a valuable part of the Bulldogs’ squad since his first days of playing in junior high. NAHS head coach Ron Price was then a special education teacher at the middle school and learned one of his students was interested in going out for the team. The result: a newfound friendship and inspiration.
