I've looked as well Jag & I haven't found a video of it either..Hopefully some of the the TV networks will pick up the story & post a video about it..

Thats awesome! So many outlets are so anti-football these days. Stories like this show the values that so many young men get out of playing football. Kids who fight together on the football field form a brotherhood that is stronger than any other sport can give them. While the story is unique, the values learned are shared by thousands of young football players across the country.

I've searched YouTube, to no avail, too. I'm sure it will pop up somewhere soon. Even high school teams video their games from up top.

My allergies are acting up as well...those aren't tears in my eyes...ok, maybe they are. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic story!

TideMan09 · Oct 17, 2012

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words..This pic proves that true..You can feel the raw emotions being shared by the players..I agree with y'all this story gets the day started right..I read it again even though I've already read it a few times & it still gets to me..

And props to these kids HC for teaching his players the true meaning of TEAM & FRIEND..Win or lose..You're always there for your teammates..

Displaced Bama Fan · Oct 17, 2012

A very special moment and memory that will last the player and his teammates a life time.

Good morning Bama fans! Yes, this article really tugs at your heartstrings and shows another example to what the word 'team' means! There is a YouTube video of the article, but it doesn't show the play.... just the audio of someone reading the article. I'm not PC savvy enough to attach the link, but you can find the link here : http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ASQYO8TQvjs
