OSG High: Your Dylan Galloway Follow-Up

((HT: KTHV-TV Little Rock))

The HQ told you about the story of Dylan Galloway a few weeks back.

Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth, Galloway has always wanted to play football and never let his affliction stop him.

In a recent game, he was allowed the chance to run for a score in his motorized wheelchair. His story has caught on around the country...

Justifiably so...

THV11's BJ Steed has your update...

OSG High: Two Special Touchdowns

((HT: Seattle Times))

Steve Kelley has the story of Ike Ditzenberger. Ike suffers from Down's Syndrome and the head coach at Snohomish ((WA)) High, Mark Perry, understood how important an activity like playing football could shape someone's life.

Perry also understood what Ike's presence could do for his players...

Here's what happened in a recent game...


The second one comes from Arkansas where a football player with cerebral palsy, Dylan Galloway, was given the opportunity to score in another home game.

The Manila ((AR)) High School senior was put into a game trailing with Manila Rivercrest High, 47-0, with just less than five minutes to go. Coaches for both teams got together and set up a play where Galloway could get the ball in his wheelchair and score.
