This was all over Facebook earlier today. I just now got permission to post it.Gabe-and-Coach-685x913

8 year old Gabe White is one of the “managers” of the Rhinelander High School Freshman football team. He has Down’s Syndrome. If you’ve spent any time in the last few months wondering what is wrong with the world, just take a look. There is still a LOT that is right with the world. The Mosinee team gets in on it and makes this little boy’s day! Gabe’s brother is number 84 and is the first to congratulate Gabe after he makes the score. This took place after the game was over but the Rhinelander team asked little Gabe to score the “winning touchdown”. Take a look:
