Gabe White is the younger brother of #84 on Rhinelander High School's football team. His family says he's the team's biggest fan and hoped to get to play one day.

Last night, that dream came true. He was made honorary captain of the Hodags when they faced off against Mosinee High School. Both teams stayed out on the field for one final play giving Gabe a chance to score.

Players for Mosinee tried to tackle him, but they kept missing to the delight of fans. Gabe then celebrated with the rest of his team in the end zone.
