When Massachusetts high school wrestler Deven Schuko went up against Andy Howland, he entered the match with an undefeated record. By the time the duo was done wrestling, Schuko's record had been blemished with a loss.
But that loss was entirely planned as Schuko wanted Howland, who has Down syndrome, to beat him. So he decided let him win, even though that meant ruining his perfect record.
"We shook hands and we locked up and he was a tough kid and he bulldogged me over to my back. I couldn't stop the power," Schuko told CBS Boston. "I've been in sports all my life and wrestling I believe is most demanding and for someone like Andy to wrestle and stick with it, I wanted to make his day."
Video of their match was uploaded to Facebook by Anthony Pucino. You can watch it below.
"It's humbling I guess and pretty cool for all the attention for a simple act of kindness," Deven said.
