Brock Horne had a lot to play for Friday night in Romeo's 21-14 victory against Utica Eisenhower.
Both teams were honoring Gavin Miller, Horne's teammate who died in a car accident on May 19 in Washington Twp.
Miller's No. 57 and his favorite color, yellow, were on T-shirts seen along Romeo's field and even Eisenhower's fans participated.
“I couldn’t help but think of him the entire time," Horne said. "I was playing for him. I ran hard for him and I think that’s what it came down to. It was an emotional game that we played for our brother, Gavin.
