MICHIGAN CITY – Before winning a championship, coaching future professionals and being a middle school vice principal, John Boyd was a kid who slept in class.
He was an elementary schooler in Gary, Ind., sound asleep when his teacher woke him up.
“She stuck with me.” Boyd said, “She didn’t send me out. So that was a point where I thought I could believe in people.”
