Football games are won in the trenches, that zone where competitors literally have to scratch and claw to survive. It's a place that Warsaw's Jamie Elliott knows all to well. It's a place that he calls home, on and off the gridiron. Within the last three years Elliott has done his share of scratching and clawing, whether it was a tough loss Friday night playing for a team that saw three new head coaches in three years, or making trips to the hospital to visit his step-father, Rodney Holloway, who underwent a kidney transplant. Top that off with the fact that his grandfather, John Dove, was diagnosed with cancer, and you'll begin to see Elliott's heart, not just his 270-pound frame that you notice upon first glance.
