Two metro Atlanta high school students took the national prize in Brock International’s Safety MVP Contest, promoting sports safety.

Rising high school seniors Brendan Rosenberg of Holy Innocents Episcopal School and Jacob Schlanger of North Springs High School took a humorous "Sports Center" approach to the topic and won $5,000 for Holy Innocents, with this video.

The Georgia General Assembly passed a sports safety law this year, requiring athletes who suffer concussions to be taken out of games until they recover medically.
