By now everyone who is around GPAC Football has heard about the Concordia versus Northwestern football game on Saturday afternoon in Orange City, Iowa. The game concluded with one of the more bizarre endings to a football game at any level.
Its an ending that will be long remembered. All fans are ecouraged to consider another ending to the game. Concordia players and coaches, after adjusting to the shock of the situation, came back out of the locker room to mid-field at DeValois Stadium/Korver Field and joined the Northwestern players and coaches in a time of prayer.
It was a remarkable display of sportsmanship and an example of true discipline and respect for one another amidst deeply emotional circumstances. This is the kind of life changing behavior that sport can teach.
This is another ending to the game, and it should be long-remembered as well.
