The tiny town of Branson, Colorado, was proud of its football team, but what many found offensive was their football field, dubbed the worst in America. So, the players and students threw a "Hail Mary" pass to raise funds for a field without gopher holes and grass as sharp as cactus. Correspondent Steve Hartman reports on how Branson's Bearcats found themselves back in the game.

I give Coach Brad much of the credit for showing the kids determination and that there is still kindness from the community and strangers that are willing to help make their field of dreams come true. I could feel the excitement and happiness for those kids and their community. That was some Hail Mary, Coach. 🏈🏆🤎

This is actually where some of my family goes to school! I never would have thought a school with a graduating class of 1 and a football field made of dirt would make national news!!

Special shout-out to Kyle Clark from Next on 9News for helping spread the word. I first heard about the Field of Dreams through Next's "Word of Thanks" microgiving campaign. So happy for the town of Branson, CO!

My parents & aunts & uncles had the grand opportunity to attend this Awesome school... I was not as fortunate... A Great Town.. A Great School & Community... Too bad they couldn't have showed the Gym as well where 50 -55 years ago was where it all took place with Many outstanding & Strong basketball teams... Going to State was a ritual for several years in Branson... 1967 Colorado Class A State Basketball Champions... #LongLiveTheBransonBearcats...

@chrisfinch8637 2 года назад

It's almost like we took a step back in time, for how football was originally played. It's better on grass than on a desert.

Please, more positive, uplifting stories like this with no political agenda. No Covid-19 references or immigration overtones & I will start watching CBS Sunday Morning again.

@mdbdoc 2 года назад

appears you never stopped watching.

@jwwj30 2 года назад

mdb ** Nope, you're wrong again. I stopped watching back in February/March 2020 when every week they polluted the airwaves with BS. However I still get weekly RU-vid notifications, which are broken down by individual stories. This allows me to view selected positive stories, such as this one on my iPad.
