East Carolina quarterback Holton Ahlers scored his first collegiate touchdown with his dad in attendance on Saturday. In fact, Ahlers’ dad contributed to the score in a special way.

Ahlers’ dad was serving as the public address announcer at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium for East Carolina’s home game against North Carolina and made the call over the stadium speakers when his son scored on a 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.

Ahlers helped the Pirates notch an upset 41-19 victory over the Tar Heels for his team’s first win of the season.

For the heartfelt moment from Ahlers’ first touchdown, watch below:

Ahlers contributed at quarterback after not playing in ECU’s season-opening 28-23 loss to North Carolina A&T. He made only one pass attempt, an incompletion, but he rushed for 36 yards on eight carries with two touchdowns.
