At Lebanon High School in Warren County, at least five football players were baptized by their teammates after practice on Thursday night. The baptisms took place on the 50-yard line of VanDeGrift Stadium. The students involved expressed interest in having the ceremony on the football field, and their request was supported by Jacob Shaw, president of Matthew: 18 Ministries, which serves high school students. Shaw expressed pride in the students taking ownership of their faith. One of the parents, Todd Snelling, shared his pride in seeing his son, Tucker, and other senior players lead the baptism, standing together in towels and supporting each other despite the cold. It was a meaningful moment for the players, their families, and the community.
