A standout basketball player from Sudan, Garang-Garang Macham, has made an unusual transition to the football field for St. Bernard. Standing at an impressive 6-foot-9, Macham joined the football team specifically to serve as a kicker. His experience with soccer in his native country provided him with the necessary kicking skills for American football.
During his debut game, Macham successfully converted two extra points. While his unusual size presented some wardrobe challenges, with 'extra large' pants being just enough, his coach noted his inability to catch a football if trick plays were considered. Despite initial skepticism from his basketball coach, Macham's enthusiasm for kicking has earned him support from his basketball teammates, who now cheer him on during his football appearances.
