Damn. I was wondering why he didn’t play last week. This is sad news. I hope this kid gets his head in the right place.
I know this young man. He has always been respectful . I don’t know what happen, but he’s a great mentor in the acres homes community. He even came by and volunteered at The Roy L Jackson foundation to help with our backpack/health fair. The Acres Homes community Love you Griff. #80
