We
Dare You Not to Get a Little Emotional Watching This 7th Grade Wrestling Video.
A heartwarming video of a 7th grade
wrestling match in Tennessee has gone viral on the Internet, with more than
100,000 “shares” on Facebook since being uploaded roughly one week ago.
The video shows Jared Stevens, described by the Tennessean as “an extrovert with cerebral
palsy,” and his opponent Justin Kievit, in an usual pairing.
Stevens, who reportedly has the
physical abilities of a 6-month-old but an intellectual ability close to his
age level, is laid on the ground, unable to stand on his own.
Kievit bends down to shake his
outstretched hand, and begins fake wrestling with Stevens as the match begins.
As the crowd cheers, Kievit pulls
Stevens’ arm over himself, struggling all the while, and allows a beaming Stevens
to win the match.
