I’ve seen this before, but loved the story so much I decided to post it knowing most of you have probably seen it but probably wouldn’t mind seeing it again.

With Love,

Russ

    The video would not show in my country but I think I get the idea.

    I had never seen this before. It really was a great video and quite an honorable thing to do on the part of the two boys. As some of the Tornado’s mentioned…they will remember this for the rest of their life. Quite an impact!

      It would be interesting to follow the lives of the young men on both teams to see what happens to them. I like to think that the game had a lasting and life-changing impact on all of them.

        That would be interesting…and with the popularity of social media, I do believe there is a strong possibility of us hearing about these young men some time in the future.
