For most of us, middle school was the time of awkward growth spurts, make-ups and break-ups, and a whole load of fun. Although we were (kind of) interested in learning more about the world and passing our tests, we spent most of our time waiting for recess, lunch, and after-school activities. Whether you were a chess club enthusiast, a swimmer, a basketball player, or a football player, we all know there was nothing better than working together as a team to defeat your enemies and rise to the top of your ranks. But what if there was more to these sports than simply winning?
American football is one of the most popular sports in America, with young boys and often girls learning the rules and practicing their craft from a young age. Because of this, middle school football is so much more than a game. If you do well at middle school, you’ll get chosen for the team in high school, and if you excel in high school, you may get scouted for a college scholarship and play with the pros – so there’s rarely any messing about. However, this isn’t always possible for people who are less abled, and the chances of winning a football match, let alone playing one, is slim to none.



However, one middle school football team decided to defy their coaches and go their own way during one football match in 2013. They enacted their own rules, they purposely refused to score, and they made the crowd turn against them. But when you see why this team decided to do so, you’ll see why their actions meant more than a simple football match. Check out this story of how one middle school football players executed a life-changing play that turned the life of one individual on its head.

Like many middle schoolers, Keith Orr had a dream of one day being a professional football player – but he wasn’t like the ‘cool’ quarterbacks at school or the popular kids in the canteen. Instead, Keith lives with a learning disorder that often makes socializing difficult. Although he was a part of the Olivet’s football team, he had never once scored a touchdown and felt more like a hindrance than an asset. But one day, an unexpected change of play would change his life forever.
