2008 OFL SEASON
Below is a short story share to me by one of the coaches in the OFL & I would like to share it with you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"THE FATHER'S EYES"
This teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a
very special relationship. Even though the son was always on the
bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a
game.
This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered
high school. His father continued to made it very clear that he did
not have to play football if he didn't want to. But the young man
loved football and decided to hang in there!. He was determined to try
his best at every practice, and perhaps he'd get to play when he
became a senior.
All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game, but
remained a bench warmer all four years. His faithful father was always
in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him.
When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the
football team as a "walk-on." Everyone was sure he could never make
the cut, but he did. The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster
because he always puts his heart and soul into every practice and, at
the same time, provided the other members with the spirit and hustle
they badly needed. That he had survived the cut thrilled him so much
that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father.
His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all
the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice
during his four years at college, but he never got to play in the game.
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 be! came 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 to the game on
Saturday.
Saturday came 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 teambegan to triumph.
The score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of
the game, the 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've never heard!
Finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had showered and
left the locker room, the coach noticed that the young man was sitting
quietly in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said, "Kid,
I can't believe it. You were fantastic! Tell me, what got into you?
How did you do it?"
He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said. "Well, you
knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?" He
swallowed hard and forced a smile. "This was the first time he could
see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!"
SOUTH 20-16 OVER THE NORTH.
