    Does anyone know of a sports article from a professional news source that contained a lack of parallelism a wrong pronoun? I am trying to use it for an editing class. Thank you in advance.

    Brought the effort, the intensity, the physicality and the fight that made it a special team in the school’s history, and made their community proud.
