Great Video! I was a junior on the Thatcher team and was part of this. Only problem is we lost. But don't worry, Thatcher got back at the Bulldogs this year and beat them 63-28. Go Teren!!
The school i go to is that same way. I come from Show Low and we have a dog fight with Blue RIdge every year. But i know after that game is over that i am still best friends with some of the lds guys on the team, school, and helpers. I love this video and it helps out my friends and i always remember that even thought that we come from differnt school and that our schools dislike each other that we will always still wear the same jersey even thought we don't go to the same school.
I'd never thought this could happen here at home. I'm a local here in the Gila Valley & a Thatcher Eagle Alumni. My yrs of high school consisted of who's prettier than who, better at a sport than an other... so on. It's stories like this that can help others see outside of competitive ego box. Thank you young men in this story for excellent examples of selflessness, faith, compassion & friendship.
@SourPickles928 we're not quite the "christians" that most people think of...but we do believe in christ! we believe in following his teachings and striving to become like Him. if you have specific questions, they can easily be answered at Mormon.org where there are tons of resources about the LDS church and what we believe. you can even find contacts for people in your area to answer your questions :)
I watched this with my family and we have close connections to the region of Safford, AZ, so we recognized the places they mentioned and it was awesome. Even ignoring the familiarity, I thought this was a really great video, well made and with a great story. I think that competition between teams is fine, but intense rivalries are bad for all parties involved. The fact that these two boys can overcome the expectations to be rivals and be brothers in the gospel of Jesus Christ is just awesome!
Elder Uchtdorf is a wonderful example and has been a great example as an Apostle of Jesus Christ. How blessed we are to have him and all the young men who live the gospel daily that may some day take his place as an Apostle of Jesus Chris
congrats. StRuDel2014, If you allow yourself to continue to grow in the spiritual and physical plains of the gospel you will only become stronger and know more each day how wonderful the gospel is. We have been members since 1978 and it is better every day if we continue to work on our testimony. Best of luck in the truth
Lawl i live here xD

President Beck (YMs President) shared this video with us at a youth fireside. It's nice to know that we're all on the same team. Same jersey.
