A youth football team from Southbury is mourning the loss of their assistant coach. Mark Oesau, 53, died unexpectedly last Saturday.
On Sunday, less than 24 hours after his father's passing, Oesau was back on the field and scored his first-ever touchdown.The crowd erupted with cheers and both teams came together to lift Oesau high in the air. She says her husband died of heart failure, leaving her and his only child behind. She says he was a wonderful and kindhearted man and worked very hard as a coach."He would do team validations, which means he would stand on the side, and he would count everybody's plays. He would make sure everyone is getting their plays in."
