Two Texas high school football players went viral for shelving their rivalry after a game in favor of a moment of quiet, reverent contemplation. Sherman High School senior Gage Smith asked West Mesquite’s Ty Jordan if they could kneel and pray together, provoking a heartfelt response from the crowd, their parents, and the internet.
The reason Smith crouched in prayer with a player from the opposing team? Jordan’s mother is fighting cancer.
