Making the presentation is Dave Moore, founder of the CAREacter Star Athlete and CARE 365 programs. Following the game, GCA Head Coach Rusty Bradley presented Bostick with the game ball on the field in the presence of both teams, coaching staffs and fans who had gathered for post-game prayer at the 50-yard line.

“It was a special, humbling evening all the way around,” said Bostick.
