RICHMOND, Va. β€” After forfeiting their last three games, the John Marshall football team returned to action against Arcadia High School on Friday night.

The team had faced significant challenges this season after several ejections and mandated suspensions left them with too few eligible players to play safely. There was even concern that the game against Arcadia High School might be canceled as well.

However, the team looked alive and well during the matchup, which served as the team's Senior Night.

One mother expressed her overwhelming emotions watching her son play.

"Joy, joy, happiness. I'm overwhelmed because like when I sit and see my son from the stands, he's putting his all on the field. He played with his heart, always have and he always will," she said.
