<i>Love this! Things like this should happen more often.</i> -- <b>Christina Gonzales</b>The players posed for pictures, sang their fight song and gave out football T-shirts for the students to wear every Friday in support of the team.
The team and the entire school even got a chance to sing happy birthday for a boy named Jason.
"I think personally that it means a lot to them, that we'd come out and visit them while they're in school," said player Brady Holt. "To give them a shirt, and show them we appreciate what they do, and that we're here for them."
