On Thursday, two assistant football coaches at Cypress Ranch High School, outside of Houston, Texas, will take life beyond X’s and O’s.

ABC-TV 13 reports that Cy-Ranch John McWilliams, who needs a liver transplant, will get 63 percent of fellow assistant Matthew Beeler’s liver.  Beeler told ABC-TV 13, “You never know when you’ll have the opportunity to do something great.”

Last year, Cy-Ranch lost to three-time High School Football America national champion Allen in the Texas 6A-Division I title game.
