    The picture above is of two teams from Central who participated in the Walk Like MADD 5K for Mothers Against Drunk Driving on May 4.  The two teams represented two teenagers from Central who were killed by drunk drivers.  The blue team represented Phillip Abington who was killed in September 2011 by a drunk driver and the camouflage team represented Steven Whiddon who was killed in June 2010 by a drunk driver.  We want to encourage everyone to not drink and drive and we came together to represent the Central community.  Team Phillip came in 1st place raising over $2,000 for MADD and team Steven came in 3rd raising $1,700.  Steven Whiddon was a 2009 Central Private graduate and Phillip Abington would be graduating with the Central High senior class of 2013 this month. We also want to thank everyone from Central for their generous donations for the two teams and for coming out and participating in Walk Like MADD 2013.
