Football: Heartwarming story of the day out of Wash. Posted on September 28, 2010 by Miguel Melendez Ike Ditzenberger, a junior at Snohomish (Wash.) High School who has Down Syndrome, achieved a major milestone on Friday in a game against Lake Stevens, running 51 yards for a touchdown with 10 seconds remaining. The “Ike Special” provided the only points in Snohomish’s 35-6 loss. It was the first varsity touchdown in Ditzenberger’s career, a ramble through an opposing defense that mirrors the end to Snohomish practices every day, when Ditzenberger gets the final run of practice and somehow finds the end zone, through a combination of running guile and intentionally passive defenders.
