Does the prize

come with fries?

A number of

athletes from Fayette County have been nominated for the 2002 Wendy's

High School Heisman Award, given each year to a male and female senior

and based on excellence in academics, athletics and community involvement.

The award was created in 1994 in partnership with the National Association

of Secondary School Principals and the Heisman Memorial Trust.

During each

phase, the field is narrowed. As students progress they are judged by

a panel that includes past winners and leaders in education, athletics,

business and community service.

The local nominees

are Joseph Register, a student at Landmark Christian and a resident of

Tyrone; Fayetteville resident Emily Burslem, also a student at Landmark

Christian; Quentin Jones, a student at our Lady of Mercy High School from

Fairburn; Sandy Creek High School students Stephen Lawson of Fayetteville

and Krystal McBride of Fairburn; McIntosh High School students Robert

Huefner and Sheena Sood, both from Peachtree City; and Starr's Mill High

School student and Fayetteville resident Susan O'Brien.

the Heisman weekend festivities Dec. 13-15 in New York City and will be
