Middle school football team helps a special needs boy score a touchdown

For every 100 stories you see online about school bullies and athletes getting into trouble, you will come across a great story like this one. 

The Olivet Eagles football team had a player on the team, named Keith, with special needs. As special as he was to the team, the odds were against him to ever play a single minutes in a game and the thought of scoring a touchdown is just a dream. But Keith was playing on a Dream Team made up of good kids who wanted to see Keith have his dream moment.  

The way they accomplished it was by having one of their players stop on the 1 yard line during a given touchdown. The initial response from the confused crowd was anger but when they found it why, they celebrated like it was a championship touchdown.
