Justice for `Crybaby Kid`

Terrence Philo Jr., 13, was given a Crybaby Award by his coach at a sports banquet last month. The coach said the trophy -- which consisted of a gold figure of a baby atop a pedestal engraved with the boy's name -- wasn't meant as a slight.
But Philo said he was embarrassed to get the award in front of his fellow players. The award's plaque also had Philo's name misspelled.
School district officials later sanctioned the coach and ordered him to make amends.
So Philo will now get the sportsmanship award he was supposed to get at the banquet.
And the annual award -- which will be presented to him at an upcoming ceremony -- will be named in his honor.
