Sportsmanship

You may have seen this. A Connecticut high school football player, Nick Reardon of Wolcott Tech, scored his first career touchdown. He had been diagnosed with testicular cancer and began chemotherapy the Monday after this game.

Walcott Tech is not a very good football team. They typically lose by several touchdowns and rarely score one themselves. 

So when they played against Avon High School recently, the score was expectedly lopsided. Late in the game, though, Reardon scored. 

The sportsmanship part of the story is that the play was called from the other sideline, by Avon head coach Brett Quinion.
