HEMPSTEAD, Texas - --?
A Houston-area youth who survived cancer and has led his football team into the state finals credits the NFL's Vince Young for giving him hope.
Hempstead running back Archie Taylor Jr. in 2006 was diagnosed with lymphoma.
Taylor on Monday told KRIV-TV how the former Texas standout visited him.
Young, who's now with the Philadelphia Eagles, is from Houston. Five years ago he made the trip to Hempstead and gave the then-12-year-old boy the jersey presented to him by the Titans on draft day.
Taylor says Young told him to stay strong and work hard.
The unbeaten Bobcats on Thursday face Melissa, at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, for the Class 2A Division I state title. Taylor this season rushed for 1,316 yards and scored 19 touchdowns.
