Evening showers low: mid 40s thanks mace.
It has been a season of ups and downs for the charles city comets football team, but there were plenty of reasons to celebrate last night.
K?
"*i?

"* kaleb gillock ?
"* has our story.xxx even though it's homecoming and senior night for the charles city comets, tonight was about more than just football.
Thanks to the gift of organ donation, a special fan sitting there in the bleachers made the trip from kentucky to iowa to cheer on the comets.
There are rich sights, sounds and emotions that come along with homecoming and senior night, that includes honoring senior royalty.
Cheers and ruffling pom?
"* poms. and the band's symphonic notes.
But what about an 11?

Logan luft's heart beats in ember henderson's chest.
Luft, a charles city teen, died in a 2017 accident.
He would have been a senior this year.
For logan's mother... ember's prescence makes tonight special.
I think every mom looks at senior night as a great night to celebrate their kid you know and all of the achievements they've made throughout their high school career and in our case we weren't going to have that and i kinda was dreading tonight a little bit.
When i found out the hendersons were coming up i was excited because i knew that even though he couldn't be here, she would be.
The senior boys honored logan's legacy and family by presenting his mother with flowers before the game.
When the charles city cheerleaders learned ember would be in attendance... they provided her with a uniform and invited her to cheer with them.
Wise beyond her years... ember was eloquent in expressing her gratitude.
If i never got that heart ?
"* logan wanted to be an organ donor ?
"* i would not be alive right here now and be with my family and be here.
I'm just touched by that.
Ember's thankfulness proving how precious organ donation is.
For us, logan just keeps on living every single day and you know we may not get to celebrate some of the things that he could've accomlished ember is set to be adopted by the hendersons
