They come ready to play. Thursday night, theyre taking on Woodbury Central in a rivalry game. But tuesdays game against westwood is one the team will never forget, and all because they put kameron obberreuter, the team manager in the game. To see him so excited and out there being the star on the field for once instead of being out on the sidelines, its a thing that you cant even begin to put words on how much it means to us and to him, said robin oberreuter, kamerons mom. Kameron has special needs, but hes always been a big part of the team, cheering them on from the sidelines. But this time, with a minute and a half left. It was kamerons turn to take the field. The quarterback gave me the ball, kameron said. He kicked. And ran, nearly sixty yards for his very first touchdown. We didnt care what the score was at that point. What the kids learned, both teams, coaches, parents, it put things back in to perspective. And sometimes us adults need that, said jesse pedersen, Lawton Bronson football coach. Then the team, running behind kameron during the play, came in. They gave me a group hug, kameron said. Its something you cant even describe your feelings when it happens, pedersen said. The play lasted just a few seconds. But the memory of kamerons first touchdown will stay with everyoyo there, forever. Its a memory that hell have and be able to cherish.
