Just so you know...

I'm not all doom and gloom. This video brought a tear to my eye. The boy running the ball is 17 year old junior Ike Ditzenberger of Snohomish High in Washington.

He has Downs syndrome.

The 51 yard run for the touchdown proved to be the only points for Snohomish that night. They went down to Lake Stevens 35-6. I don't think that is what this game will be remembered for.

The best thing about this video is the opposing players making diving efforts to stop him but to no avail. Ike proved just too fast.

I don't care what the score was. All the players and coaches on both sides of the ball won that night.
