DEER PARK, TX (KTRK) -- A Deer Park teen was able to accomplish a lifelong dream Saturday, making it into the end zone for a touchdown.

Joshua Lloyd, 17, has Down Syndrome and for three years he has been the manager of the Senior Tigers football team in Deer Park. For one play, the team let Lloyd come into the game and he ran the football in for a touchdown.

Lloyd's father said the touchdown meant the world to their family.
