It wasn’t your typical fall afternoon of football, though judging purely by the crowd’s reaction, it felt like the Georgia-Florida game. Boys ages 4 to 6 scrambled on a miniature field Saturday in the playground of Challenged Child and Friends in Gainesville. The game was part of the organization’s new enrichment program, allowing children with special needs to interact in a recreational setting with their peers.
