Short Hills, NJ (Vocus/PRWEB) March 14, 2011

The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation announced today that Major League Soccer star, Daniel Hernandez, has been named a celebrity ambassador. Hernandez will help spread awareness of the Reeve Foundation and its efforts to find cures for those living with spinal cord injuries and improve their quality of life.

?It warms my heart to know I am able to give back to a community that has had such an impact in my life,? said Hernandez. ?My brother has been living with paralysis as a result of a car accident that occurred in 1998. Before his injury we both played soccer at Southern Methodist University for current FC Dallas Coach Schellas Hyndman. This is my way of playing for both of us on the field and off. I am filled with gratitude to have this opportunity to be a part of something that?s bigger than me and thrilled to do what I can to help further the cause.?

Daniel?s brother, Michael ?Nico? Hernandez, 32, lives in their home town of Tyler, TX where he owns a number of businesses including a record label.

?We are extremely excited to have Daniel on board as the first male professional athlete ambassador,? said Peter T. Wilderotter, president and CEO of the Reeve Foundation. ?Daniel?s personal connection and commitment to our mission allows for a special bond between him and the Reeve Foundation community.?

Hernandez was a recent finalist in the Pepsi Refresh Project competing for a $ 50,000 prize to donate to the Reeve Foundation to help educate kids living with paralysis. Currently, Hernandez has been nominated for the One Man Dallas competition which highlights his significant community involvement with the Reeve Foundation as his charity of choice (finalists will be announced April 12).

Daniel Hernandez grew up in Tyler, Texas, playing both soccer and football. He attended Southern Methodist University on a football scholarship as a kicker, splitting time between the Mustangs? football and soccer teams before committing to focusing solely on soccer where he earned All-America honors for SMU. Hernandez made his professional debut with the Los Angeles Galaxy in 1998 and has played for teams in both Major League Soccer and the Mexican Primera Division, as well as with the U.S. Men?s National Team since then. Hernandez returned home to play for FC Dallas halfway through the 2009 season. He became the squad?s captain in 2010, leading his hometown side to its first Western Conference Championship that same season. Hernandez has a soccer field, “Estadio Daniel Demetrio Hernandez,” named after him in his hometown.

Owensboro, KY (PRWEB) December 31, 2009

It was the game that had everything – dramatic comebacks, remarkable plays, great players and even a post-game marriage proposal – is it any wonder that Sports Illustrated recently named the 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, a 43-42 win by Boise State over favored Oklahoma, as the best college football bowl game of the decade?

The game featured a frantic comeback by the Sooners that saw Oklahoma score 25 unanswered points in the second half to take its first lead with 1:02 remaining and that’s just the start of when things got wild. The two teams combined to score 22 points in the final 1:26 of regulation to go with 15 points in overtime, including three trick plays that helped Boise State win the game to finish their magical season undefeated at 13-0!

After Oklahoma tied the game on Sooner receiver Quentin Chaney’s caught a tipped 5 yard TD pass from quarterback Paul Thompson and the subsequent two point conversion with 1:26 remaining, Boise State quarterback Jared Zabransky was intercepted by Marcus Walker, who returned it 34 yards for a touchdown to give Oklahoma a 35?28 lead with 1:02 left. On the ensuing drive Boise State drove to the Sooners 42 when on 4th down and 18 yards to go, Zabransky completed a 15 yard strike to Drisan James, who as Oklahoma defenders closed on him flipped the ball perfectly to Jerard Rabb, who took the ball down the sideline for the game tying TD.

In overtime, Boise State won the toss and opted to play defense. Oklahoma scored on their first play from scrimmage – a 25-yard run by star running back Adrian Peterson. The extra point was good, making the score 42?35 Oklahoma. On Boise State’s ensuing drive, the Broncos were down to 4th and 2 on the Sooners’ 5 yard line and decided to run their second trick play; Zabransky ran out to receiver while wide receiver Vinny Perretta, lined up at running back, took the snap, rolled to his right, then threw a touchdown to tight end Derek Schouman to bring Boise State within one point at 42?41. Broncos coach Chris Petersen didn’t hesitate – he sent the offense on the field to go for two point and the win.

Boise State proceeded to run the game’s signature play – a play they called “Statue Left.” With three receivers to the right, Zabransky faked a quick pass to his right then quickly handed the football behind his back with his left hand to running back Ian Johnson, who ran untouched into the end zone for the conversion and the win.

During a live postgame interview with FOX Sports, Johnson got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend, Boise State head cheerleader Chrissy Popadics.
