So you think anybody from either team will ever remember who won ten years from know?

 

I tip my cap to the Coaches, Kids and the Schools.

Thanks to all of you, for showing what true sportsmanship is all about!

The correct term would be a football player with down syndrome. People first language! A great story though! I remember seeing something like this a few years ago too.

Pretty awesome! Good for both teams. Some people help the team others the team helps.

I had the same thing happen in a grade school game in which i was coaching. I had a special player & never thought of asking something like this from an opposing coach, but they had the game in hand & it was actually the opposing coach's idea. (hats off to him) Made the kids day along with everyone who witnessed it. It's good to know there are truely some sportsmanship & good people out there still. Thanks for the post.... good story.

Thanks Chickenhawk, great post.

 

Wonder if anyone was lamenting the loss of a shutout?

Chickenhawk, you made my day. I wish more people on here would post more stuff like this to bring some sense to this world. Great job, BGPer's including myself should post things like this once in awhile just to put things into perspective. Great work.

What made it really great was the defense appearing to make great efforts to tackle him....a really good job by the defense not just standing there and letting him score. I thought for a second the one kid on the sideline was really going to push him out of bounds.
