To Justin Svetz, a high school senior at Clymer Central, his ordeal wasn't anything too bad -- at least not in his mind. But for those that know him, Svetz's story over the past two years is as inspirational as any that you'll find.

After needing immediate brain surgery in 2015, the teenager battled all the way back to play football -- and prominently -- once again. See his story in full in the video above.
