Deaf fullback, interpreter breaking down sound barriers<\/strong><\/p>\n

ARLINGTON, TEXAS<\/p>\n

The football player and his interpreter stand together, away from the others in the back corner of the visitors\u2019 locker room at AT&T Stadium. The faint sound of the marching band echoes down the tunnel and filters through an open door. Arlington Martin head coach Bob Wager paces the room barking orders and inspiration at his team.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe effort of our opponent, the talent of our opponent, the scheme of our opponent; none of that matters, OK?\u201d says Wager. \u201cThis is our experience inside AT&T Stadium.\u201d<\/p>\n

Determination and persistence have been the hallmarks of Micah Willis\u2019s time playing football for Martin High School, coach Bob Wager says. Gary Claunch and Micah Willis on the field at AT&T Stadium on Oct. 24 after Willis scored his first touchdown in a game. When Micah Willis was a toddler his parents began to suspect he had hearing loss, but it wasn\u2019t confirmed until he was in kindergarten. Gary Claunch, 62, has been working as an interpreter with Micah Willis since Micah was in 7th grade. Arlington Martin fullback Micah Willis is finishing his senior season with the team. Coach Bob Wager, background, addresses the Martin High School Warriors while interpreter Gary Claunch signs the coach\u2019s words for Micah Willis.

Gary Claunch and Micah Willis on the field at AT&T Stadium on Oct. 24 after Willis scored his first touchdown in a game.<\/p>\n

The interpreter, 62-year-old Gary Claunch, signs the words to the player, senior fullback Micah Willis, who nods his head and smiles.<\/p>\n

Micah, who was born with significant hearing loss that has gotten progressively worse, wears a set of hearing aids. Along with his penchant for lip-reading, they give him the ability to understand those who don\u2019t know sign language. But in just a few short minutes the hearing aids will come off (so as not to get damaged from sweat or on-field collisions), and his football helmet will go on.<\/p>\n

From that point forward, he won\u2019t hear a single sound.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the field, I can\u2019t hear anything,\u201d he says. \u201cBut if you look at the crowd … you can feel it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Together, Micah and Gary have shared nearly 70 football games dating back to their first season at Young Junior High in south Arlington. But none has been quite as special as this one. The Martin Warriors and district opponent Fort Worth Paschal were playing on a Saturday in late October at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. And less than 24 hours earlier Coach Wager had made a promise to Micah, pulling him aside in the weight room.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe came up to me and started talking about some play, 22 or 23,\u201d said Micah. \u201cThen Gary looked me in the eye and said \u2018You might be playing this Saturday,\u2019 and we both started laughing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Countless practices, two-a-days, weight lifting sessions and injuries were behind him. Micah had been waiting four years for this moment, his moment, and he was ready.<\/p>\n

Following the signs<\/p>\n

In the late \u201970s, Gary Claunch was a journeyman auto mechanic. If you had a front-end suspension problem or needed any electrical system work, he was your man. He would put in 10-hour days at the shop then come home to a driveway full of cars from friends and neighbors that needed repair.<\/p>\n

His wife, Lisa, who ran a seamstress business from their home, would be there waiting on him.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was a remarkable woman,\u201d said Gary. \u201cBeautiful, smart. Her sewing business really started taking off when the hearing problem started.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still in her mid-20s and otherwise the picture of health, Lisa starting developing an auditory processing disorder that quickly worsened. The condition wouldn\u2019t allow her brain to separate frequencies, turning all ambient noise into hash. In the quiet of their own home the two were able to hold a conversation but in public, where sounds couldn\u2019t be regulated, Lisa was effectively rendered deaf.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur local church offered a sign language class, so we signed up together,\u201d said Gary. \u201cI wanted to be able to communicate with my wife and I was going to do whatever I had to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two immersed themselves in the classes and deaf culture, joining local groups and spending all their social outings with other deaf couples. They were dedicated to tackling the challenge side by side.<\/p>\n

During one of the outings, Gary met a deaf pastor who needed an interpreter to travel with him to nursing homes and prisons. Although still learning the language, Gary volunteered to help him and on one of the pair\u2019s first outings he witnessed the pastor do something that changed his outlook on the deaf.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was signing to another deaf person who was feeling particularly down and out,\u201d remembers Gary. \u201cHe looked them in their eye with a serious face and signed \u2018Can\u2019t, Can\u2019t, Can\u2019t.\u2019 And then he took both of his hands and pushed those words aside as if to say \u2018Get those words out of your mind\u2019. Then he signed \u2018Can, can, can\u2019 raising his hands a little higher with each sign until he was right in front of their face. And you could see a light flicker in their eyes. They got it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although he was still working as a mechanic, his part-time gig as an interpreter proved more rewarding, so he decided to take the state certification test. He passed on his second attempt, putting hs name on the state Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf.. It wasn\u2019t long before he received a phone call from the Arlington Independent School District, which got his name from the registry. They wanted to offer him a job as an interpreter in their Deaf-Ed program.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a mechanic,\u201d said Gary. \u201cI didn\u2019t know what to think, but my wife said \u2018You need to do this\u2019 so I gave it a shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first year was a bit of culture shock for a man who was used to coming home with grease under his fingernails. But soon after, Lisa followed him into teaching.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d learned sign language together,\u201d said Gary. \u201cWe were working together, passionate about what we were doing. Dealing with obstacles as a team and moving forward. And then one day she found a lump in her breast.\u201d<\/p>\n

A biopsy revealed their worst nightmare. A very aggressive form of cancer. Lisa would undergo surgeries; chemo and radiation treatments but it couldn\u2019t stop the cancer. Eventually it metastasized to her lower spine and eventually her brain.<\/p>\n

She died two days before her 40th birthday.<\/p>\n

Gary wrote her a letter as part of his eulogy. It finished with these words:<\/p>\n

\u201cI thank you for spending your life with me. I love you and miss you more than words can say. I don\u2019t know what I\u2019ll do without you.\u201d<\/p>\n

He just kept on truckin\u2019<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2000, Jimmy and Annette Willis sat at the kitchen table, finishing their meal. Their 3-year-old son, Micah, sat on the kitchen floor playing with his toys. Suddenly, one of the kitchen cabinets swung open and pots and pans came crashing onto the floor. Jimmy and Annette swung their heads around, checking to make sure Micah was OK. He sat with his back to the pans just a few feet away and continued to play, unfazed by the noise.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurely he had heard it,\u201d thought Jimmy.<\/p>\n

He looked at his wife, confused. Micah had been late to crawl, late to walk. Was this all interconnected?<\/p>\n

Over the next few years, other signs would arise and the two would start to connect the dots. But it wasn\u2019t until a school counselor called on Micah\u2019s first day of kindergarten that their suspicions were confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey told us they had done a hearing test and that Micah had hearing loss,\u201d said Jimmy. \u201cWe thought they had done a hearing test on him at the hospital when he was born and no one ever said anything. My wife and I took it pretty hard at first but not Micah. He did everything he was supposed to do and just kept on truckin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Willis family enrolled Micah at Waverly Park Elementary, the regional day school for the deaf children of Tarrant County. Finally, Micah was given the tools and guidance he needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t realize [my hearing impairment] at first but the first time I remember it myself, I was standing close to the TV and I turned it up really loud and my mom turned it back down,\u201d remembers Micah. \u201cI kept turning it up so I could hear it closer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Micah would make several more moves before settling into Young Junior High for seventh grade. He had enjoyed playing Little League baseball throughout elementary school but was surprised to find out baseball wasn\u2019t offered to middle schoolers.<\/p>\n

He asked his mother, Annette, if he could give football a try and she told him she thought that was a great idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a little skeptical at first,\u201d said Jimmy. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to see him get hurt, but she encouraged him to give it a try and it turned out great.\u201d<\/p>\n

The school provided Micah an interpreter but she wasn\u2019t allowed into the boy\u2019s locker room, which meant Micah couldn\u2019t understand what the coaches were saying unless the team was on the field. The school made a phone call to James Martin High School\u2019s Deaf-Ed program.<\/p>\n

Was there someone there who could lend a hand to the middle school\u2019s football team?<\/p>\n

A new best friend<\/p>\n

Gary was working at Martin when that call came in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey asked if I could start going to their football practice after school,\u201d said Gary. \u201cThat\u2019s when I met Micah. He was having some trouble at that time, some frustrations and I pulled him aside and listened to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the two talked, a memory came to Gary. An image of the deaf pastor all those years earlier.<\/p>\n

\u201cI put my hands in front of me and signed \u2018Can\u2019t, can\u2019t, can\u2019t,\u2019 said Gary. \u201cThen I pushed it away, just like the pastor had taught me. Then I put my hands back in front of me and signed \u2018Can, can, can\u2019 and held it there in between the two of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Micah nodded and smiled. He got it … and Gary got him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I found Gary we started getting along good and we really became best friends,\u201d said Micah.<\/p>\n

Over the next few years the pair would spend hundreds of hours together, coming up with signs for plays and disguising them just in case someone from another team might also know sign language.<\/p>\n

After two years at Young, Micah and Gary moved on to Martin High School.<\/p>\n

Martin, a Class 6A powerhouse, is one of North Texas\u2019 most respected football programs. Head Coach Bob Wager runs his program with a focus on striving for excellence both on and off the field. With more than 100 kids trying out for the freshman team, Micah had a tough road ahead of him.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan you imagine, playing at the very highest level of high school football in the country, yet you don\u2019t have the ability to hear?\u201d said Wager. \u201cOver the course of these kids\u2019 four-year careers, those 100 kids become more like 35 or 36 by they time they\u2019re seniors. When you look up and its midway through his senior year and Micah Willis is one of those 36 guys, it\u2019s extremely impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Warriors were regional finalists in their 2014 season and have advanced to the same round this year. (They play undefeated Allen on Friday at 5:30 p.m. at AT&T Stadium.) At this level of competition, Micah doesn\u2019t get much playing time but he doesn\u2019t let that get him down. He never misses a practice, a film session, a game. And neither does Gary.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis team is like a family,\u201d said Gary. \u201cAnd they let us into their culture and allowed us to be a part of their world.\u201d<\/p>\n

So on Oct. 24, with Martin squaring off against Paschal at AT&T Stadium, Wager knew Micah\u2019s time had come. The stage was set.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you start to add those three hours a day, every day, to have an opportunity to get on the football field for one, two, maybe three plays in a game, it\u2019s a tremendous sacrifice,\u201d said Wager. \u201cYet that moment will last them a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Micah, you\u2019re in!\u2019<\/p>\n

The Warriors had their way with Paschal in the early going, moving the ball and putting points on the board to create a comfortable lead. With the clock ticking down late in the second quarter, Martin tailback Nick Smith took a pitch from quarterback Eric Walker and sprinted toward the end zone. Paschal defenders were able to drag him down at the 2-yard line before he could score.<\/p>\n

With more than 5,000 screaming fans on their feet, Wager looked over his shoulder and spotted Micah, standing next to Gary, hands folded, watching the replay on the giant screen. Wager waved his arm furiously and shouted: \u201cMicah, Micah, you\u2019re in!\u201d<\/p>\n

Gary\u2019s knees buckled as he jumped in front of Micah to sign the message.<\/p>\n

Micah sprinted onto the field but paused midway to the huddle so Gary could relay the play. It was 22 dive, just like Wager had told him the day before in the weight room.<\/p>\n

The Warrior offense approached the line of scrimmage; Walker read the defense and realized they were in trouble.<\/p>\n

\u201cMicah had been told we were going right but the defense was shifted that way and I knew he would have a hard time getting into the end zone,\u201d said Walker. \u201cI had to change the play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Walker turned around and whispered to Micah, hoping he understood. Micah read Walker\u2019s lips and nodded. Just to be sure, Walker patted his left hip and crouched under center. Walker took the snap, turned to his left and handed off the ball.<\/p>\n

Micah surged through the line and into the end zone for a touchdown. His teammates climbed on his back and shouted. As he sprinted to the sidelines, Wager met him and grabbed his facemask, pulling him close as they embraced.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was all the moments that led up to that,\u201d said Wager. \u201cThat moment wasn\u2019t so much a rejoice of what had taken place but a reflection of what had taken place every day for the course of three consecutive years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in the locker room at halftime, Gary pulled Micah aside and the two shared a moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was bouncing off the wall,\u201d said Gary. \u201cI told him \u2018You played football at AT&T Stadium buddy. You not only played here but you made a touchdown. And nobody can take that away from you for the rest of your life.\u201d<\/p>\n

A bond beyond football<\/p>\n

When Micah graduates this spring Gary plans to be there. It will be the end of a journey that started six years ago, but their friendship will remain.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy family really loves Gary and I do too,\u201d said Micah. \u201cHe\u2019s like a grandfather to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

He credits Gary as well as actress Marlee Matlin with inspiring him to pursue his dreams.<\/p>\n

\u201cI watched her on Dancing With the Stars,\u201d said Micah. \u201cShe did that to prove to the world that deaf can do anything and that really inspired me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jimmy says Micah worries about Gary constantly, especially during the holidays.<\/p>\n

\u201cMicah knows Gary is probably spending that time alone and he wants to make sure he knows we\u2019re thinking about him,\u201d said Jimmy.<\/p>\n

Gary plans to continue interpreting until he no longer can. Ironically, his own hearing has started to deteriorate in recent years, a progressive loss that doctors attribute to his many years as a mechanic. Like Micah, he\u2019s taken to wearing hearing aids and even reads lips on occasion.<\/p>\n

\u201cMicah\u2019s made me feel like I\u2019m worth something,\u201d said Gary. \u201cI\u2019d like to think I made a difference in his life. One day I\u2019m going to see my wife again and when I do I\u2019m going to ask her if I made her proud.\u201d<\/p>\n
