Robby Heil, a senior with Down syndrome, has been an integral part of Novi Wildcat athletics for the last four years.
"You mean a lot to this team, I'm serious you're a big part of this," fellow senior Anthony D'annibale said on the sideline to Robby, right before his big moment.
And tonight they proved it. In the second quarter against South Lyon East, play was suspended, as Robby, the water boy, entered the game.
Just like they practiced, Robby got the hand off, and saw nothing but green in front of him.
Touchdown, Wildcats.
But the scene on the sidelines is what takes your breath away.
Robby's mother, Debbie, who is terminally ill with bone cancer, got to see her little boy live his dream. This type of joy, is overwhelming.

My cousin has Autism and he was a student, was able to play great football and had a good spirit for his high school Allen High School, Allen Texas.. he worked for Allen High School Football team for years past his graduation taking care of his beloved football team mowing the field marking the hash marks, preparing equipment for the game and making sure the team had water/Gatorade, as the story goes Allen Eagles Football team became one of the top teams in Texas they then decided an autistic "water boy" wasn't a good image for Allen Football, fired him and now he works for Aramark in Dallas

"Straight out of a movie script" is right. Scripted, planned, nothing actually earned or achieved and a bunch of idiots standing around pretending so they can 'feel good' about him "achieving" absolutely nothing.
