The Headline Not Expected
by Carrie K. Hutchens
The headlines seem full of road rage murders and men and women killing their mates and babies, as though we, as a society, have walked through a dark door into a realm where there is no value left on life. Then comes the headline of all headlines. The headline not expected. The one that brings the unexpected tears that seem to go on forever.
Matt Ziesel is a 15 year old football player for Benton High School in St. Joseph, MO.
KMBC’s coverage of the game states:
“On Monday night, the Benton Cardinals football team was losing its game against Maryville.
“Looking back, it’s a great game. At the time we were down 46 to nothing and it was probably the worst-looking game I’ve ever seen as a coach,” Benton Coach Dan McCamy told KMBC’s Bev Chapman.”
“Have you always wanted to play football?” Chapman asked Ziesel.
“Yes, I do play good,” Ziesel said.”
However, Marysville’s teams was there as well.The night was full of champions and football team members with hearts of gold.
Matt Ziesel has Down Syndrome.
Marysville, instead of walking away with a shut-out, ran a special play for a special young man.
KMBC’s “High School Player’s Inspiring Touchdown” is a must read and the video a must see!
