Columbus Grove didn't win. Heath Nickles only rushed for 72 yards. But Nickles might have put together one of the best performances I have ever seen from a prepster.
Nickles wasn't supposed to play against Ada. From what I heard, the senior has a broken rib. Forget football, that hurts to just breath.
There was Nickles, though, on the field to start the second half. There was Nickles breaking sizable runs as Grove tried to comeback and nip Ada. There was Nickles, putting his suffering and pain aside for the better of his team.
So, yeah, Grove lost. And, O.K., Nickles didn't crack the century mark.
All he did was show true character. He is why I love covering prep sports.
