I know this is a racing site but I want to take time to congratulate a former student of mine who has full filled a life long dream. You can go your entire teaching and coaching career without seeing this happen. I think it is worth to mention. Way to go Terrance Taylor. I just became a Colts fan. Below is an article from the Muskegon Chronicle.
Muskegon's Terrance Taylor drafted in 4th round by Indianapolis Colts

Terrance Taylor's long wait finally came to end at about 2 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
Taylor, a former prep star at Muskegon High School, was selected by the Indianapolis Colts with the final pick in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. He was the 136th overall pick in the draft.
Taylor, a 6-0, 306-pound defensive tackle who was a three-year starter at Michigan, was projected as a possible third- or fourth-round pick, but appeared to be slipping toward the fifth round, before the Colts took him.
Taylor is one of the strongest players in the entire draft, which he proved at a recent NFL Combine by bench-pressing the second most of any participant. He is considered a throwback noseguard, who can use his strength to solidify the middle of the defense.
He said earlier in the week that he was hoping to get drafted by a warm-weather team, but his main concern was just getting back on the field and proving himself.
"I'm just ready to start the next phase of my life," said Taylor. "I'm ready to go prove myself all over again."
