I am glad that Zach got the oppurtunnity to have him live his dream. In my town, my Down Syndrome brother that was 4 at the time got kick to the ground,and was called cat eyes. But I can see improvement now. He is now eight and everybody treats him equally. I am glad to say that my brother is my brother. I love you Nick. (: You are my pride and joy. (:
Everybody needs to work with special needs people for about a year. And see how they are really treated out in public. And how they are the first programs to get cut when your wonderful government say's 'I will not raise taxes.'So all of you who have a negative comment should be ashamed of yourselves.
Ok...I hate to rain on parades...or be the only negative person on this post...but Holy Crap.....They let him score the touchdown. I could see if the kid had some kind of ability to do so. What the coach is doing is treating him different because of his disability. If this young man was coherant of being treated differently then everyone else...I'm sure he wouldn't approve.
@ceelife There is no such thing as equality life is never equal for any one. For example you have the advantage of simply a normal life over Zach why is that fair. Why should you be treated so special? Why do you deserve to not have down syndrome over him? Gosh someone should fix that! You know to make you equal.
@MsTubax Like I said..if anything they're turning him into a sideshow. Why can't he be treated equal to all the rest of the kids? Give em his moment give him his chance to shine. What if he turned out to be a "Water Boy" and he just needed some encouragement. Letting him run down the field to score a touchdown cause you let him isn't giving him a chance to shine it's treating him like he's less of a human being. "Why can't you have down syndrome." Clearly you have a chip on your shoulder.
@ceelife How is making a specific event just for Zach treating him like he is less of a human being? There is no malice in this gesture. And the "why can't you have down syndrome" was just stating that life is NOT fair I don't have a chip on my shoulder. I just wished you would see a different view on this, it is not a bad thing. Look I really not looking for an argument and I am sorry that I we disagree. I understand you, but my view is if it can make someones life a little better why not?
@ceelife The football team was just trying to give Zach his own special moment you know like the things you can easily have at every opportunity because you don't have a learning disability. And yes you are raining on a wonderful parade.
Oh my gosh that is the best thing I have ever seen! Coach Paul Maier showed great sportsmanship by letting him score that touch down!!! Way to go both Jasper and Mount Vernon!!!
the couch for MtVernon should be couch of the year for allowing the opposing team to score a touch down and show true sportsmenship way to go Couch Pail Meier for the rest of the story go the WFIE14 evansville
the couch for MtVernon should be couch of the year for allowing the opposing team to score a touch down and show true sportsmenship way to go Couch Pail Meier
What's best is that the league didn't demand that they let this kid run a TD. Instead, the opposing coach offered it! That's the difference between a mandate and charity.
This touched my heart! When you look closely enough to the "real people" we realize that this truly is a wonderful world!! What a wonderful lesson for all those young men to learn and I'm sure will make a difference in their lives as they go forward.
Now THAT is what team sports should be. I'm all for keeping score and playing a good game but ultimately, it's about doing your best and learning to demonstrate respect for others. And, if every now and then, a player can fulfill a dream with a little help then those students have learned that life is not about winning but about being about "playing well with others".
I graduated from JHS 35 yrs. ago an this is the most beautiful est thing I've ever seen any coach do for another team. He is a hero in my eyes. Keep up the good work Zack!!!
I love it. Cried and cried. All those football players work so hard all season, training and practicing. Zach worked hard and the coach saw that. Love it love it love it!
I was lucky to get to work with Zach when him and i were Wrestling Managers during my sophmore year, he was a freshman at the time. He was a great kid to work with and be around, and he still is today. Great job Zach! I'm proud of you!
Awsome!!! Brought me to tears..just goes to show you there are still good people with good hearts in this world. Zach your are truly an inspiration for all!!
this video gace me chills and tears of happiness. Thank God there are some good people still left in this world! i love this video. So sweet and sencere of the coach and players! love love love it
These are the things I like to see in the news. So inspirational and gives me a better feeling about our society these days. Way to go everyone! WOOOHOO ZACH!
i play football for northview high school and jasper is in our sectional..thats shows a lot of class by jasper..im glad zack got to live in that moment
It sure is great to know that there are some people out there that are nice enough to do something for someone with a disability. I have one where I can't run. I wish everyone could be nice enough like that coach. Great Job Zach!
This is a great story thanks Sally I'm proud to say it happened in Indiana. Somethings are more important then winning and losing. This is a moment Zach will have the rest of his life...
If everyone cared so much, what a wonderful world it would be. This just shows there are still saints and angels among us. How fortunate we are for the Zachs in the world who help us to remember. God bless all involved!
I wasn't expecting the tears that came out while watching this. There is hope for all of us when good people can do such a wonderful thing for this young man. Both schools and coaches should be commended for their actions.
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO GAVE ZACH A NIGHT HE WILL NEVER FORGET. THANKS TO THE MOUNT VERNON COACH,PAM BELL,JASPER FOOTBALL TEAM, COACHES.ZACH YOU MADE EVERYBODY IN JASPER VERY HAPPY. GREAT JOB ZACH.
Wow . Didn't expect to weep this morning. Paul Maier - you are a man of character and you have brought honor to your school, your program and yourself.
THANK GOD FOR ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO ALLOW FEATS OF LOVE AND KINDNESS TO BE SHOWN IN FOOTBALL!!! THANK YOU JASPER AND MT VERNON FOR ALLOWING A DREAM TO COME TRUE!!! MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS BOTH COMMUNITIES, COACHES, PLAYERS, AND YES, ALSO THE REFS!!!
Jasper, your head is screwed on right! Vincennes..well done. Sitting down here in Texas this really makes me proud of my Home Town, Mt. Vernon. Go Wildcats.
Men of character, generosity, kindness, and teachers of young men more than just football....these coaches deserve to be lifted up and admired. We need more of this, in our schools, homes, and at work.
Kudos to the Mt. Vernon and Jasper teams. This night, regardless of the score, everyone won, even the fans in the stands.
Great touchdown Zach!!! Congrats!!! Glad to see such sportsmanship all the way around,especially from M.V. to one of our "biggest rivals"! ( I just wish Jasper had had the same sportsmanship last night at the Jr. varsity game at Jasper. They do not have any freshman on their J.V. team and ours is mostly frosh because we don't have a frosh team.Yelling "don't hurt the Kindergardner!" about a certain member of our team was rude and very unsportsmanlike!) Proud to be a mother and alumni from M.V.!
What a great story. Makes me proud to be an alum of Mt.Vernon and former football Wildcat. Great to see to sportsmanship and caring among the Mt. Vernon coaching staff and players. And to Zack, what a focused and determined young man. I can imagine, with his determination, this TD is just the first of many greats things Zack will accomplsih in his life.
It's all about inclusion in school, sports, and community! Glad to see my hometown doing this! Things have come a long way since I was in school! My daughter has Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome and she is included across the board with her peers, family, and Madison, WI! Go Zach and the Wildcats! Great job!
The video brought tears to my eyes! What a great story. Hats off to Mt Vernon for showing compassion and a true sense of spirit!! Zach will remember that moment for the rest of his life! Both teams have a GREAT group of players, coaches & fans!! Also have to mention how awesome Zach's teammates are for assisting him have a fantastic, memorable year!! Talk about sportsmanship all around....
I watched this last night there was 1876 views. I'm watching this at 9:08 am and it says 5278 views. In a world that seems to be only Focused on me, myself, and I. We can still find that some still have a heart of Gold. Not only the viewers but Mr Logan Musgrave (outstanding) to put yourself second that's a Hero. To coaches and players "Great" to Mr Beckman (you rock). To Zach's Parents thanks for not holding Zach back as is the case with so many Parents and their Down Syndrome kids.
Logan Musgrave is all class! Too many times nowadays we hear about or see with our own eyes the disrespect or bullying of those less fortunate than us. Especially by athletes. Mr Musgrave has my vote for man of the year. Mr Beckman has my vote for player of the year. Together they are outstanding examples of sportsmanship, dedication and the spirit of the game of football.
Very kind of MV. Looks like Jasper had no problem running the score up though. Someone should do a documentary on Jasper...they are like robots trained to win everything.
Thank you for posting this. We all have our high school rivalries, but this puts the people aspect back into perspective. We are all one family living on this planet and this is a beautiful example of humanity and sportsmanship. God bless everyone involved in this. Wonderful.
I go to school with Zach and am so proud of his dedication and grateful for the kind hearts of the Mount Vernon football team and Head Coach Maier! I'm sure this is something our school won't ever forget. Go ZMAN!
I wold be remiss if I didn't Thank Coach Tony you made my friend's Dream COME TO LIFE THANK YOU VERY MUCH GOD BLESS YOU ALSO IN ALL YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS
I had a moment like this when I coached 8th grade basketball. To this day when I ask my players what their favorite memory was of our 4 years together was, they all look to the moment when the basket went in for a wonderful student who was at every practice and game.
I know that this moment will be the same for the students of Mt Vernon High School! Way to teach true sportsmanship, Coach Maier!
My compliments to head coach Paul Maier and his Mount Vernon football team for making Zach's dream come true! It's so nice to know that there are still so many wonderful people out there!!!
Wow...this was so awesome! Thanks to the MV coaches and team...you are all heros in my book. Congrats to Zach - you are an inspiration to the world, my friend.
@Victorinox667 Sorry - didn't mean that to sound as offensive as it was. Was simply trying to point out that the sportsmanship of the coaches, teams, etc. to do this was what was important. I'm a Jasper fan - so I'm glad they won - but didn't think it was important in this aspect. Apologies for seeming brash.
@CntrySngr72 No hard feelings. It warms my heart to see these guys working together to fulfill this kid's dream. It really does. I was just curious as to who won.
Way to go Zach, great job. Hats off to both coaches and to both great cities. We can all learn a great lesson here. When we help one another there are no losers. Good luck to both schools in the playoffs. We have all won thanks to Zach.

@Victorinox667 Sorry - didn't mean that to sound as offensive as it was. Was simply trying to point out that the sportsmanship of the coaches, teams, etc. to do this was what was important. I'm a Jasper fan - so I'm glad they won - but didn't think it was important in this aspect. Apologies for seeming brash.

@CntrySngr72 No hard feelings. It warms my heart to see these guys working together to fulfill this kid's dream. It really does. I was just curious as to who won.

Way to go Zach, great job. Hats off to both coaches and to both great cities. We can all learn a great lesson here. When we help one another there are no losers. Good luck to both schools in the playoffs. We have all won thanks to Zach.
