Heavy heart for the HighlandersIt was about more than football when The Woodlands took the field December 17 aiming for the program’s first state championship. Players had their minds on teammate Grant Milton, who was back in The Woodlands, having been transferred days before after spending 17 days in a coma in Waco.Milton had emergency brain surgery after collapsing during the team’s win over Austin Bowie (he’s now at Conroe’s Touchstone Neurorecovery Center). Support poured in - JJ Watt donated $10,000 - and classmates proudly wore No. 21 shirts the entire school year. The football team kept winning, reaching the Division I-6A championship game before falling short to Lake Travis. Photo: Jason Fochtman/Houston Chronicle
