The No. 4 story among my Top 10 John’s Journal entries from 2020-21 is really special because it epitomizes the beauty of friendship and inclusiveness. Brody Larson, a member of the Class of 2021 at LeRoy-Ostrander High School, wore a football uniform for the first time and saw action on the field for the first time on Senior Night last fall. At 4 feet, 4 inches tall and 86 pounds, Brody became the biggest name in the game on that night.
Wearing the same No. 28 jersey
that his father wore when he played for the LeRoy-Ostrander Cardinals in 2003,
Brody scored a touchdown and a two-point conversion.
Here’s an excerpt …
Brody is a survivor, an inspiration. And we need him, his
teammates and their spirit and togetherness right now.
“In today’s world of negativity and all these
things going on, I tell our boys all the time, ‘You’ve got to understand what
we truly have. Brody got the short end of the straw,’ ” said LeRoy-Ostrander
coach Trevor Carrier. “ ‘You’ve got to appreciate what you have and Brody
epitomizes that.’ Everyone loves him. He makes you smile.”
