Referee Praised for Call that Gives Fan a Moment to Shine

This heartwarming story comes out of Missouri and is reported by stjoechannel.com.

In a game between South Nodaway High School and Northeast Nodaway High School, the referees made the decision to allow Cole Henggeler to perform the opening jump ball.  Cole has Down Syndrome, but that doesn't stop him from doing what he loves: refereeing.

This is also a good reminder that the game is ultimately not about us: it's about the players, the coaches, and the fans.  And sometimes allowing something special like this to happen makes a big difference in somebody's day!


Good call ref!
