There are some moments as a parent that you know you’ll never forget. This is going to be one of them. 💜🏈 Epilepsy has kept him from a lot of things but since the beginning of the school year, Bryson has been helping with his high school freshman football team as their manager. But he’s never just standing on the sidelines. His coaches have embraced him—letting him help run drills and warm-ups, get the guys fired up, and truly be part of the team. Last week, the head coach called me with a question I never expected to hear. He asked how I would feel about letting Bryson SUIT UP for the Homecoming game and be the kicker for the opening kickoff. They would have a plan to safely escort him off the field afterward so there would be no chance of him being tackled. Through my tears, I said, “Absolutely YES.” There were still hoops to jump through—approvals to get and even a conversation with the opposing coach. Then Tuesday, Bryson got the news: IT’S A GO. 💜 He gets to put on the full uniform. The pads. The helmet. Everything. And when that ball is placed on the tee, Bryson gets to be the kicker. I don’t know if there are words for what this means to him—or to us. Bryson has spent so much of his life on the sidelines cheering for everyone else. He’s helped coach his siblings and his dad’s college players. He has encouraged and celebrated so many athletes while watching them play the game he loves. But this time, he gets his turn. For one incredible moment, he gets to walk onto that football field in full gear as part of his team. He gets to line up. He gets to kick that football. And for those few seconds, he won’t be watching someone else live the moment. It will be HIS moment. 💜🏈 Thank you to a coaching staff that sees Bryson, values him, and was willing to go above and beyond to give him an experience he will remember for the rest of his life. Homecoming will mean something completely different to us this year. Go kick that ball, Bryson. We’ll be the loudest ones in the stands. 💜🏈 #fightlikebryson #epilepsywarrior #helmets4helmets #protectlikebrock #GBS

Five days before fall camp started, Tanner Beaman of @psuviksFB popped the question to Tori Forst of @psuviksTF. "“I just didn't feel like there was any need to wait and felt like right now is the perfect time. I mean, since I met her, I knew she was the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with." -- @tannerbeaman_ ➡️ goviks.com/news/2026/8/7/GEN… #GoViks | #DefendTheShip
