Paralyzed

Steve Politi (The Star-Ledger): Ben LaSala has coached high school football — lived high school football, really — for nearly 30 years. And he has no idea how he will keep coaching it now.

He thinks about that next meeting with his players. What will he say? He thinks about that next tackling drill at practice. How will he watch? He thinks about his next game at Colonia High.

How will he coach?

“I’ve thought about it a lot the last couple days,” LaSala said. “I don’t even know how I’m going to deal with this. I’ve been doing this a long time, and you see stuff happen that’s part of football.

“But then it happens to one of your own. . ."
