A
On a hot evening in September, the Highland High School team was pronouncing to win its first game of the
season. “I was really excited
?/p>
?nbsp;said Highlanders linebacker Ryan Ferrini. “This w
as the game when it finally came
Highlanders had to do was go one yard for a touchdown to seize a dramatic come-
from-
behind victory.
On
the
previous
play,
after
the
Highlanders
had driven
the
ball
deep
into
the
Tompkins'
territory
(
防守?/p>
),
quarterback Will Gentry had connected with receiver Austin Brauweiler at the three-
yard line. As Brauweiler turned
upfield, a Tompkins' defender delivered a hit, knocking them both to the ground at the one-
yard line.
“There was a huge force, as if a truck had hit me
?/p>
?nbsp;said Brauweiler, who suffered from the collision (
撞击
).
But it was the Tompkins' player who got the worst of it. He lay still on the ground and a doctor had been called.
That's
when
the
Tompkins'
coach
walked
across
the
field
and
told
Highlanders'
coach
Colschen
that
his
players
were too upset to finish the game and they would lose the game.
“In life, the wellbeing of others is what's important, not th
e scoreboard
?/p>
?nbsp;said Colschen. He gathered his
Highlanders and told them it was time to support
their grieving (
悲伤?/p>
) competitors. They agreed.
After the injured player was airlifted to a hospital, the two teams took the field again. The Highland team's
teammates took a knee and didn't start any action, only waiting for the game clock to strike zero. Game over.
“What my players did was amazing
?/p>
?nbsp;said Colschen. “I was surprised and encouraged that they were thinking
not about themselves but about others.?/p>
