It was the end of his senior football season, and as he trotted onto the

practice field shortly before the big play off game, the coach met him with a

telegram. The young man read the telegram and he became deathly silent.

Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, "My father died this morning.

Is it all right if I miss practice today?" The coach put his arm gently around

his shoulder and said, "Take the rest of the week off, son. And don't even

plan to come back to the game on Saturday. Saturday arrived, and the game was

not going well. In the third quarter, when the team was ten points behind, a

silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his

football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were

astounded to see their faithful teammate back so soon. "Coach, please let me

play. I've just got to play today." said the young man. The coach pretended

not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close

playoff game. But the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the

kid, the coach gave in. "All right," he said"You can go in". Before long,

the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes.

This little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right.

The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, he passed, blocked and tackled

like a star. His team began to triumph. The score was soon tied. In the

closing seconds of the game, this kid intercepted a pass and ran all the way

for the winning touchdown. The fans broke loose. His teammates hoisted him

onto their shoulders. Such cheering you never heard!
