LUBBOCK, Texas - The final moments of a high school football game in Texas will be remembered by both teams for a long time.
On the final play of a game between high schools Andrews and Lubbock, Evan Sparks, a senior at Andrews, made a big tackle.Sparks ran over and pumped the whole crowd attending the Friday night game.With Andrews leading 64-14, coach Tom Harvey said the crowd began chanting “We want Sparky!”Lubbock called the timeout and sent word to Andrews to put Sparks in the game, KCBD reported.
Harvey said he never spoke to Rodriguez about it, and can’t say enough about him for his kind action. When KCBD contacted Rodriguez, he told them he wanted to put things in perspective and make it a teaching moment for his kids. The coach said the score says one thing, but the last play of the game shows the character of the players.Copyright 2022 KCBD via Gray Media Group, Inc. All rights reserved.
