Via Idaho Statesman:
After making national headlines for rescuing two people in an overturned vehicle Tuesday night, the Boise Black Knights wanted to see that the couple they helped on a Oregon highway was doing OK.
The Black Knights, a team of mostly 13- and 14-year-old tackle football players, lifted the overturned car to help free the trapped couple after coming upon the accident.
The couple injured in the crash, Alan and Margaret Hardman, both 65, of Winnemucca, Nevada, suffered some broken bones, cuts and scrapes, but are expected to recover.
“I’ll tell you what — I don’t know how we would have done it without them,” Alan Hardman told the Statesman. “They didn’t even hesitate.”
The team met with the family Thursday evening at their daughter’s home in Meridian. The players, holding flowers, cookies and cards in hand, were overwhelmed with emotion; they hadn’t seen the Hardmans since they were taken away in an ambulance at the scene.
The team also presented the couple with a signed jersey and football.
