Alnoor Gowani, 13, Minden: What was supposed to be a fun Friday night with two teenage friends swinging from a rope into the Gull River, turned into a desperate effort to save a man’s life. With no regard to the danger he was putting himself in, Alnoor swam into the river to rescue a drowning 30-year-old man. He was able to take hold of the man’s hands, get him to kick his feet, and swam him to shore safely. All the while calling out for help.
