A heartwarming video shows the moment a high school football team's waterboy makes his first touchdown.

Noah VanVooren, who has Down Syndrome, is a senior at Little Chute High School in Clintonville, Wisconsin, and is the Mustangs football team manager and waterboy, reports RadarOnline.

He led the team onto the pitch but then asked his coach, Brian Ryczkowski, if he could play in the third quarter of the match against the Clintonville Truckers.

While it seems these stories happen with more frequency, they never get old IMO.

Good stuff but dangerous and always got an outside chance that someone didn't get the memo not to hit him...

 

The thing that struck me when the interviewer started the story was "Blow Out Win"...

 

Had he gotten blown up I wonder what kind of attention it would have received? Would the coach had been fired? Rules put into place?

 

IDK, I am blessed to have 4 healthy kids and Iam always moved by the kind hearts and thoughts of giving life lasting memories to the young man in the video but there is always that outside chance that somebody doesn't play by the unwritten rule here.

 

Hell we are not even allowed to shake hands after a game in KY anymore because of "Blow Out Wins" etc. :thumb:

Great example of sportsmanship!
