KXLY: CHS Viks Get Needed Victory

Coeur d' Alene High School is the king of Idaho football. The team won the 5A title last weekend 31-28. It's the school's third title in four years, but this victory was different. To celebrate, the school held an assembly on Tuesday. The student-athletes were introduced to a cheering crowd. The biggest chant, was saved for coach Shawn Amos. "We love Amos," the crowd roared. "It was something special," he said. Usually, Shawn Amos likes to quietly stay behind the scenes while leading the state's most successful football team. But in the last month, he's had to do it while battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma/Ian Cull, KXLY. More here.

Question: Isn't this a made-for-Hollywood situation?
