Video: Trent Glaze Scores a Touchdown in His Wheelchair
By Adam Kramer Nov. 02, 2011
Although the story below is not college football related, and it doesn’t involve any snark (shocking, I know), it was simply too touching not to pass along. It does involve football, however, in the most incredible way possible.
Trent Glaze has muscular dystrophy. He’s never had the opportunity to play football because of the obvious physical limitations that come with this disease, but that hasn’t stopped him from following the game oh so close regardless.
His passion for the game eventually led Tom McCurdy – the head coach at Fairfield Union high school in Ohio – to name him team captain. Last week, his presence within the team went one unbelievable step further.
On Friday, when Fairfield’s playoff game against Teay Valley High had ended, both teams stayed on the field for one last play. Trent came onto the field in his wheelchair and full pads and took the handoff for a touchdown.
The display of sportsmanship from both teams truly is something incredible. And really, this goes well beyond just sportsmanship between two teams and shows a group of wonderful people doing something truly remarkable. This moment, which words really can’t do justice, you should watch for yourself.
Remember, you can always blame “allergies” after watching this, gentlemen.

Is it wrong that I would have sent the safety on a blitz into the gap and stuffed the play at the three?

Shouldn't make fun of the kid -- I heard he rolled his ankle and will have to sit the rest of the year.

YES!
YES IT IS!

Can you carry a football and an iron lung at the same time?

YES!
YES IT IS!
You're right. I probably should just send the linebackers and leave the safety back in case it was a fake.

Shane sez yes.

As long as there is a Marlboro in one hand.

Don't know, but you can damn sure carry jealousy in an iron lung.

I would say I was going to hell for laughing at some of these post, but pretty sure that was decided long before that.

I saw this while eating lunch today. First thing out of my mouth was, "I wish a linebacker would have blown that guy up at the 3 yard line".
I was expecting laughs, because it was funny to me. The 3 people I was eating with didn't say a word for about 10 seconds, then one called me an asshole.
But I knew yall could appreciate it.
