Twenty-five -year-old Jason
Donnell Roberson is recovering from
gunshot wounds himself.

Police say he is one of the seven
people wounded in a hail of gunfire
early Saturday morning, gunfire that
took the life of 22 year old "T.J."
Thompson.

Roberson is charged with firing
the fatal shot.

He turned himself in last night
and was arraigned this morning.

Roberson's court appearance was

hardly his first experience in the
judicial system.

Records show he has ten prior
convictions in the last six years - not
counting numerous bench warrants for
failure to appear in court.

executed another warrant at 1615
Melrose Avenue.

They were looking for anything to
indicate unregulated gambling and

According to court papers-
officers didn't have to search long.

On the wall they found a sign

with an alcoholic beverage stating:
"Now Open on Sundays, card players

Cave Spring vs. Hidden Valley The Knights of Cave Spring took :00 on Hidden Valley in the nightcap with a
spot in the regionals up for grabs.

The Titans would get on the board
first in the opening half.

Kayvon Sarmadi will hit the
perfect kick right over the wall of

Cave Spring defenders to his teammate
Matt Smith - who heads it home to make
it a one to nothing game in favor of
Hidden Valley.

About two minutes later - Will
Augustine and Fernando Gracia play give
and go in traffic and watch Gracia with
the slick kick off the outside of his
right foot and past the goalie to make
it 2-to-nothing.

The Titans got a good defensive
effort around the net. Watch Glen *CG final HIdden Valley Ramirez come in from the right side - 2 take away the angle and save sure goal Cave Spring with the deflection.
1 Hidden Valley wins it 2 to 1.

The change in venue will not only

chance to take in games at colleges
they may not have otherwise visited.
