Chris Downs and Kyle Webber, both former Jupiter Christian football players, are the first football athletes from the private school to go on to play college ball. The two players were on the JCS inaugural football team.
On Sept. 1, the duo faced each other as Webber, an offensive tackle for Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs, N.C., and Downs, a linebacker for Jacksonville University, played for opposing teams in their first college gridiron event.
After being tied at halftime, Gardner-Webb pulled away and won 49-14.
Downs is a member of the JCS Class of 2005 and Webber is a member of the Class of 2006.
