When is a loss a win? Friday night, Irvington quarterback Nijee Leverett's team lost to Pope John XXIII 19-6, but it was a victory for the young man, who has been battling testicular cancer since the beginning of 2008.

The Star-Ledger tells the heartwarming story of how Leverett has battled through six surgeries, including one that saw his heart stop, plus 48 weeks of chemotherapy.
