TJ to hang banner for Martin

Thomas Jefferson graduate Derrick Martin, one of the city's top multi-sport athletes this decade, will be honored tonight before the Spartans' boys basketball game against Denver East. The game is scheduled for 7 p.m.

TJ will hang a banner in honor of Martin, a 2003 graduate, who went on to a stellar football career at the University of Wyoming and currently is a member of the Baltimore Ravens. While at TJ, Martin excelled in football, basketball and track and also carried a 4-0 grade-point average his senior year.

Said TJ athletic director Lani Nobles: "I remember Derrick pointing to the banner of Daniel Graham hanging in our gym, and telling me to save the spot next to it for him. At the time I laughed out loud and said sure Derrick I will save that spot for you. He grinned his huge Derrick Martin smile and said, 'I mean it Ms. Nobles, that spot will be mine.'

"I have to say a lot of kids dream big, but I believed Derrick. Now we can hang him a banner in his honor. He has already done some nice things for the students and community of Thomas Jefferson High School and we appreciate greatly his support!"

    Only two years left before 2012. It is time to stack up on preservative foods that would normally kill us any other day. But since the world is ending anyway we would need anything that would preserve us until the aliens come to take us to their planet to put probes up our butts.
