Snohomish High School: Why it's the best.

I could give you a list of reasons Snohomish is so awesome... but the reason its on my list right now is for its kind, compassionate, and caring high school football coaches and team.
"Ike Ditzenberger is like a lot of other 17-year-old American football players. He dreams of playing college football. He attends daily practices. Most of the time he toils away in offensive drills. Then, on rare occasions, Ditzenberger runs into the limelight with aplomb. The description could fit thousands of American teenagers, except for one crucial detail: Ike Ditzenberger has Down Syndrome. Ditzenberger, a junior at Snohomish (Wash.) High School, achieved a major milestone on Friday in a game against Lake Stevens, running 51 yards for a touchdown with 10 seconds remaining."

    This is such an honorable show of leadership and sportsmanship from both Snohomish and Lake Stevens.
