According to Savannah Morning News’ Donald Heath<\/a>, to cite sources, Ward spoke at the sold-out banquet which honored the top high school athletes in Chatham, Effingham, Liberty and Bryan counties. It was the first time Ward, an Atlanta native and former football star at the University of Georgia, had ever been to Savannah.\u00a0It was a night to learn lessons and be entertained, and Ward delivered.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been where those kids are right now,\u201d Ward said before the banquet. \u201cI just want to tell them my story. I want to tell them to keep striving for goals and be humble. … I understand what this night is about.\u201d<\/p>\n
