They played the oddest game in high school football history last month down in Grapevine, Texas.

I saw this in the Star-Telegram a couple of months ago and thought it was the best story of the year.

What a story!!! Not sure if it is a comment on Texans or on people of faith but I don't much care. It is an incredible story.

I played Gainsville state school in high school. It was very sad because the only people that were at the game for them was the coaches and guards. The guards were posted up all around the stadium and looked very mean. My teamates and i were all a little worried about playing them affraid they would try to do something to us, but what we didnt realize is that they were just kids like us enjoying a kids sport. They were not very good, but they tried hard and had fun playing and getting away from the prision they live in. When we think of prisions we think of hardend criminals who deserve what they get. These kids probably deserve there time in this state school, but we must remember they are just kids and need guidence and most of all love from all of us.

I'll agree with Matt, probably the best story of the year.


:clap: to that coach.
