By Jeff Steers JTV Sports Some may think that Indianapolis Colts football player and former Lumen Christi Catholic High School and Michigan State University standout Khari Willis has it made. He signed a reported $3.2 million four-year contract with the Colts. By the end of the season, he was the starting strong safety for the NFL team. And he is living the dream as an NFL player. But Willis dropped a bomb on most people at the annual 2020 Martin Luther King dinner celebration on Saturday night. The 23-year-old has twin sons that spent all of his rookie season in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. “Adversity and hard times are going to come,” Willis told the crowd of more than 500 at Jackson College. “I learned to control what I can.” Willis was the keynote speaker at the annual MLK dinner. Councilwoman Arlene Robinson earned the King Medal of Service at the celebration. Both are Jackson natives who have been influenced by their surroundings. Willis told his story about coming from the south…

By Jeff Steers JTV Sports The Lumen Christi Catholic High School varsity hockey team let Jackson United know quite early in the game they were not going to play the way the Titans did against the Vikings two weeks ago. Jackson got the puck to begin the rivalry game on Friday and had problems getting it into their own end. And it was like that all 34 minutes of the contest at Optimist Ice Arena in a 9-0 win for Lumen Christi. With the win the Titans improve to 11-2 while Jackson is at the other end of the spectrum at 2-12. “The last game against Jackson, I was not happy with,” LCCHS Coach Mike Wartella said. “We started hard tonight and kept going. “All three lines played well.” Freshman Brett Terry scored twice for Lumen Christi and tallied one assist. “We went out there playing as a team and hustling,” Terry said after the win. “Coach was disappointed last time we played Jackson because we…
