Wheeling Police Officer Rick Richardson brushed off the hero title for what he did to help a referee who collapsed.
"I don't see myself as a hero. I just went out there and reacted and did what I was trained," said Officer Richardson.
At the time, Officer Richardson was working as a coach when he ran to help and started CPR.
A health teacher watching the game ran and got a defibrillator.
Richardson hopes to see the ref once he's fully recovered.
Deputy Chief Todd Wolff of the Wheeling Police Department said the 55-year-old referee suffered an apparent heart attack.
Police said the referee was breathing and talking as an ambulance took him to the hospital.
