Minneapolis’ North High honors murdered quarterback during first game of season
| People filled the bleachers for North High’s first football game of the season Sept. 2 in Minneapolis.
As is game day tradition, players walked together from the school to the football field up the street. Among them was junior linebacker Khalil Brown holding the jersey of his good friend, Deshaun Hill, number nine. Deshaun, the team’s quarterback, was shot and killed in February at age 15.
“It’s hard to wrap your mind around it,” Khalil said. “Day to day I get better and better with dealing with it. I say to myself, ‘I have to keep going and keep going for him.’” | |
