High school athletes surprised before CFB game
Two high school athletes who suffered life-altering injuries last year were surprised this weekend by former college football and NFL stars before the College Football Championship game in Atlanta.
ATLANTA - The City of Atlanta and Dream On 3 Georgia teamed up to fulfill wishes of two teens whose promising sports careers were halted by life-altering injuries.
Karter Galbreath, a standout baseball player from Hazlehurst, Georgia, suffered a serious head injury in late March last year when he was struck by a baseball during practice. Ben Kerbo, of Joelton, Tennessee, sustained a spinal injury in a single-car crash. Both teens were treated at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, a facility renowned for its rehabilitation services.
