Darrell Young came to Jefferson for one reason: to play football with his cousin and best friend C.J. Mills, one of the county's top linebackers. Mills was shot and killed this April in front of his home, sending the whole community -- especially Young -- into a tailspin. Young sleeps in Mills' old room, which hasn't been changed at all since he passed away, and he finds comfort in the shrine erected for his cousin, where his jersey hangs on the wall, and photos and trophies adorn the shelves and tables.
