700 Club to feature Zeeland East's Boone Bonnema on Sept. 11

Boone Bonnema explained that it's never easy reliving the most frightening moments of his life.

The Zeeland East senior linebacker spent six weeks in intensive care, clinging to life after suffering a burst appendix when he was 10 years old living with his family on a ranch in Texas.
