Ryan Switzer's act of kindness creates lifelong bond and inspires school

Posted Nov 10, 2016

It was supposed to be a once-a-month movie club her sixth-grade special education class hosted. But when Ryan Switzer, the state’s sandlot football star, began showing up to see his best friend, Cliff, and help out the class, people took notice. (ESPN.com)
