Video Flagged Dead

High School Football Star's Kind Gesture to Teammate

(youtube) Leading comfortably against a rival, St. Clairsville (Ohio) running back Michael Ferns broke free and was on his way to a certain touchdown, but he stepped out of bounds at the opponents' 1. He wanted freshman teammate Logan Thompson to get the score

it may be kind, but still, intentionally switching a quarterback out just so that he can get a touchdown because of a recent death in the family seems just a tad bit unnecessary and frivolous

I think it was running back, and I know nothing about football but don't they swap them out for different plays?

regardless, giving the guy a moment to feel soomething other than his loss is pretty classy IMO.

I agree with both of you guys on this.

While it might seem frivolous and somewhat patronizing to have him score from the 1 yard line, it did give the young lad a chance to dedicate his very first Touch Down to his father. In the end, whether or not it seems dumb to us looking in from the outside, this might have been very meaningful to the player involved.
