McComb's blind team manager scores TD

With a little help from his friends, a student manager who is legally blind scored his first touchdown for a Northwest Ohio high school team.

Tyler Brown says he didnt really think his coach would put him in a game this year even though he had been practicing with the team.

But the junior at tiny McComb High School, located about 10 miles northwest of Findlay, got his big chance two weeks ago in the Panthers 47-7 win over Vanlue.

He fumbled on his second carry just before he got into the end zone. Brown got in the game later, lined up at quarterback, and ran straight ahead for a 1-yard touchdown.

He says two of his teammates helped push him into the end zone and that he didnt know he had scored until he heard them cheering.
