Two Ohio high school football players have been commended by a local nonprofit for their tribute to police and firefighters before a game on Sept. 11.
Cornerback Brady Williams ran onto the field with a thin blue line flag while his teammate, linebacker Jarad Bentley, carried a thin red line flag, both in defiance of the school district’s instruction not to do so. Williams’s father is a sheriff’s deputy. Bentley’s is a firefighter.
