"This managed to fly under our radar when it happened late last month, but it’s one of those stories you don’t want to miss.In an awesome moment of kind-hearted sportsmanship and clandestine, middle-school planning, the members of the Olivet Middle School football team shared a life-changing moment when they secretly took a dive at the 1-yard line to set up a touchdown run for teammate Keith Orr. Keith has a learning disability and “struggles with boundaries,” so the team simply surrounded him like a phalanx of Spartans and drove him into the end zone.
The play and the moment are inspiring, but their ramifications are what make them truly special:"
