Valentine’s Day for most of us consists of letters, flowers, notes, and chocolate.  For a lot of us, we wait until the last minute to go grab some flowers and a card.   For a group of football players from Brookwood’s NG3 huddle group, this holiday was a day they had been looking forward to for weeks.

Mock Trial-A view from the courtroom

Jack Johnston is one of those kids who stays involved, too busy for real trouble. He is involved in church, he auditioned for and secured a bass drum spot on the battery with the Grayson Drumline his freshman year, and he can give a good testimony or argument in a court of law.
