Student with Special Needs Teaches Team an Unexpected Lesson

WILLOUGHBY, Ohio — The beginning of class ... it's probably the least favorite part of any student's day. But for Jerry Fowler, the best part of his day comes after school.
The 15-year-old is an eighth grader at Willoughby Middle School. He's also a student with special needs with a new passion: football.
"Jerry came out for football the second week of practice," said Greg Turchan, special education teacher and eighth grade football coach. "At first we were a little leery. We weren't sure what he was able to do."
