Arizona high school freshman with one arm makes an amazing interception

By Joe Frollo | Posted 10/9/2015

Mesa (Ariz.) Desert Ridge High School freshman Michael Orr has been inspiring his teammates all season.

Now, he’s leading by example as well.

Orr, who lost his right arm just above the elbow, has two interceptions in his team’s three games, including the one below where he rips the ball away from a would-be defender.

“Kids look at him and are amazed at his work ethic and ability,” Desert Ridge head coach Jeremy Hathcock told AZCentral.com. ”They say, 'If he can give that kind of effort, then I better give it as well.'''
