Students at Dawson County High School are encouraging the crowd expected to be at tomorrow night's first round of the state playoff's football game against Ringgold to support a West Forsyth athlete stripped of his qualifying run in a recent cross country meet for wearing a headband that read "Isaiah 40:30-31" across the front. "Local teams and athletes have to stick together, especially for situations like this," said Senior Peytan Porter. On Saturday, Green was the third runner out of 226 to cross the finish line in the Class AAAAAA state championship race at Carrollton High School.
