Description
"It does make me fearful and it makes you cautious about places you go. I feel fearful because no one wants to die. I want to live." Mike Privott, senior at Norfolk's Lake Taylor Mike Privott is a hard-nosed linebacker who doesn't back down on the football field. // He terrorizes wide-eyed running backs and greets them with a whack. // His message to them is simple: Come my way and you're going to pay. // Off the field, Privott takes a different approach to confrontation. // "I try to avoid it," said the senior at Lake Taylor High in Norfolk. Violence has become part of the routine at some schools and in certain neighborhoods. Fights break out over simple things and sometimes escalate into gunfire. Since March, three high school football players have been shot. Two died.
