As we've seen so many times before, high school football is about more than just football -- it's also a way to bring a community together for a common cause.

The team from Foothill High School in Palo Cedro, Calif., had a special cause to rally around on Friday.

As the team entered the field before its game against Spanish Springs, each player made sure to drop off a rose to cheerleader Ashley Adamietz who, according to KRCR-7, was diagnosed with Leukemia last month.
