Its actually his second TD.. The same team did that for him when he played on the JV team last year. Stand up coaches and Players. The team practices this play at the end of every practice. He got into football because these type of people learn by seeing, and not by listening. His older brother played football, and actually got to play with him for 2 years, before he graduated. the kid idolizes his older brother, and wanted to be just like him.
Very heart touching..
here's the whole story..

That first video was awesome, one of our really good family friends has a son with Down Syndrome, so it hit particularly close to home

man that's a great story. it really showed how sportsmanship overshadowed competitiveness. just like others said before, you don't see things like this much now, it really humbles me when i do see gestures like this.

i loved seeing that, truly fantastic! it also reminds me of how rare it is to see coaches with class. today i see too many kids that bust there *** never to see the field even one time as sr's. just seems sad to me. when i was playing many years ago our coaches always played those who were not part of the opening rotation whenever possible if they worked hard during practice etc... sometimes they played in situations and/or in positions where they were not going to hurt us or when the game was a blow out one way or the other. today the game seems to be more about their egos than the kids they coach.

very good videos but It makes me wonder being that the same team has let him score twice would they let him score if the score was much closer. Either way good for him for being out there and busting his *** with the team.
