My apologies to those of you who may have seen this already. I had not. It takes quite a recommendation for me to watch a video. This received one. I watched and think enough of it to pass it along. It’s about a high school football game in Grapevine, Texas between Grapevine Faith Academy and the Gainesville State School. Faith is a Christian school and Gainesville State School is located within a maximum security correction facility.
Gainesville State School has 14 players. They play every game on the road. Their record was 0-8. Prior to this game they’d only scored twice. Their 14 players are teenagers who have been convicted of crimes ranging from drugs to assault to robbery. Most had families who had disowned them. They wore outdated, used shoulder pads and helmets. Faith Academy was 7-2. They had 70 players, 11 coaches, and the latest equipment.
