A heartwarming video has captured two New Mexico high school football teams celebrating together as a player with Down syndrome on the winning team scores a touchdown. Their coach says the teams’ collective reaction was “sportsmanship at its finest.”
Iziah Martinez, 18, has played for Lovington High School’s Wildcats since he was a freshman, graduating to the varsity level in his senior year. Iziah has Down syndrome, but it doesn’t hold him back from being a popular, valued member of his team.
