Bonsignore column on Brian Price
Check out Daily News columnist Vincent Bonsignore's column on Brian Price:
Here's a great excerpt:
"......Both brothers were gunned down as the result of gang violence, and there was a time his mother, Jeanetta, worried Price might get swept away in the same lifestyle.
"Not because he had a tendency to run the streets, he was never that way," Jeanetta Price said. "But when Damon died, I worried it was a blow that might overtake Brian, maybe take away some of his motivation.
"It would have been easy for Brian to give up his dream, especially after losing his two brothers like that. That was my biggest concern, that he would give up and think it wasn't possible to fulfill his dream. I had to keep a careful eye on him, to make sure that didn't happen."
There was no reason to worry.
"I had football, and I guess that made me look at things differently than everyone else does," Price said. "Football was my calling. To the point where, if I came up on a situation, or a decision, I always considered the long run, and how it would affect my dreams."
