WATCH: Oregon awards game balls to childhood cancer survivors following win over Nebraska
Published:
Try as you might, you aren’t going to find many game ball recipients as deserving as these three brave children.
Sophia, Ethan and Joe were special #StompOutCancer participants for Oregon’s game against Nebraska Saturday, as the three kids not only attended the game but designed the latest Nike uniforms the Ducks wore against the Cornhuskers.
Oregon would go on to win the game 42-35 following a furious rally by Nebraska. Following the game, the team held a unique game ball presentation for the three kids.
