A Sweet Tribute

Columbia honored the late Walter Payton, the small town's favorite son and one of the all-time greatest football players (in the NFL and at Jackson State) with the unveiling of a statue of Payton on Saturday. Fittingly, it stands in the end zone at Columbia High School's football field, a place where Payton spent lots of time in his schoolboy years.
