Deven Schuko, a Massachusetts high school senior with a 27-0 record this year, made a dream come true for a young wrestler with special needs.
There's typically one clear winner in a wrestling match, but a viral video showing a Massachusetts high school wrestling champion being taken down by an opponent with special needs proves there can, in fact, be two.
As WCVB Boston reports, Deven Schuko, an undefeated captain of Massachusetts' Norton High School wrestling team, faced off with Andrew Howland, a student from rival Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School who has Down syndrome.
And guess what: In less than 15 seconds, Howland was deemed the victor, but a closer look shows Schuko is also a star.
Watch the video shared by WCVB Boston here.
