Teen jumps onto field as cheerleader's fill-in father

Addie Rodriguez, 9, was performing at a football game at Central Catholic High School when the other cheerleaders on her squad were joined by their fathers and lifted onto their shoulders. But Addie’s father wasn’t there.

Addie’s father is Abel Rodriguez, a senior airman who’s currently training at Travis Air Force Base in California. He served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Then someone rushed toward Addie. That someone was Matthew Garcia, a senior at Central Catholic High School. “I ran down from the bleachers right here,” he said, “and I just hopped the fence, and I went over, and I (knelt) down, I talked to her and I said, ‘Are you OK?’”

Matthew lifted Addie, a fourth-grader at St. John Bosco Elementary School, onto his shoulders.

5. Major double fence jump to get to her

6. Sounds like he made sure it was okay with her first...

a certain 70-year-old should take the hint.

“and I just hopped the fence, and I went over, and I (knelt) down, I talked to her and I said, ‘Are you OK?’”

Matthew lifted Addie, a fourth-grader at St. John Bosco Elementary School, onto his shoulders.

7. Yes, that care for her boundaries struck me, too, especially after watching

Trump try to kiss that little girl on the mouth and watching her recoil from him.
