Thank you for your unwritten and unspoken words of support.

attacked him
and left him with a broken jaw over his performance during a junior varsity
game,
authorities said.
> Four players were kicked off the Lake-Lehman High School football team and
suspended from
school for their alleged roles in the assault, School Board member Jim Mahon
said.

> Adam Harris, a 15-year-old sophomore quarterback, said he was changing
clothes after
practice Wednesday when the players taped him to a chair and rubbed a pain-
relieving
ointment on his face. The boys were pushing the chair when it got stuck and
flipped,
sending him face-first to the floor.

interceptions in a
game Monday.

said. "Those were
their exact words."
