Players including the star
quarterback have rallied behind Chy Johnson, a 16-year-old special needs
student who was tormented by kids at Queen Creek High School, reports 3TV
News and azfamily.com.
The players now eat with her
at lunch and watch her back. Johnson's daily life was far different
before. She came home crying every day and the bullies "threw trash at
me," she said in the interview.
Chy's mother, Elizabeth
Johnson, contacted Carson Jones, the starting quarterback, for help.
She reached out to the right guy. Jones is not only a leader of the
Phoenix-area school's undefeated football team, but is a straight-A
student who's active in his church and in charity work.
All Chy's mom wanted was a
name or two of those responsible. Instead, Jones went the extra yard,
joining Chy at lunch with other teammates. They keep an eye on her the
rest of the school day, too. Varsity players Tucker Workman and Colton
Moore also spearhead the effort. “They’re not bullying her anymore because
they’ve seen her with us or something," Jones said.
