High School Football Player Steps Out at One Yard Line So Teammate Who Just Lost His Father Could Score

In last Friday’s game, Michigan recruit Michael Ferns broke free for what looked like a 53 yard touchdown run. He stepped out just before the goal line. The officials were so confused by the play that they initially signaled touchdown, but overturned it when St. Claresville protested. They then put Thompson, who had never played running back, in the game to score the touchdown.
