Ike Makes a Touchdown!

Here is the feel-good story of the year!  Ike, a high schooler with Downs Syndrome, was accepted as a member of the football team at Snohomish High School.  Read about how the Lake Stevens team allowed him to make a touchdown, ruining their shutout against Snohomish.  This story has gained national attention and will possibly be made into a movie.  Kudos to the wise coach and the caring team and school members who have looked past Ike's disability and shown true love and compassion!
