The Narrows community turned out in droves to honor one of their own, as the Green Wave retired the jersey of Jarrett Lane, prior to last night’s season-opener football game at Ragsdale Field.

Lane, who would have graduated this past May from Virginia Tech, was one of 32 students killed in the April 16 shootings.

“It’s really great to see the community out here tonight,” said a tearful Tracey Lane. “The outpouring of support for me and my family has meant so much to all of us.”

Lane, who graduated in 2003 from Narrows, lettered in four sports and was also the school’s valedictorian.

Although Lane’s No. 24 jersey was retired, school officials plan to award the jersey to a deserving player on future squads.

In addition to honoring Lane, the Marching Virginians from Virginia Tech entertained the crowd at halftime.
