Members of the James Williams Middle School eighth-grade football team paid tribute to teammate Bobby Towne Tuesday at Mike Webster Stadium.

Brown, 13, has Wilson's disease - an ailment of the liver - and will eventually need a transplant. During Tuesday's game against D.C. Everest the Hodags brought Towne, who is confined to a wheelchair, onto the field for a ceremonial touchdown.
