GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A local high school football player who is dealing with a very difficult loss got a special surprise from nearly two thousand miles away.
Christian Sims' sister, Giovanni, surprised him during his senior night game at Norcross High School Friday night.
She is serving in the Air Force at the Davis-Monthan Air Force base in Tucson, Arizona.
Their mother died over the summer so Giovanni wanted to be by her brother's side during the big game.
