FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons hosted the football team from Apalachee High School a week after a shooting left two students and two teachers dead.

The high school players watched practice Friday from the sideline at the Falcons' training complex in Flowery Branch.

"I think it's incredible that you get a chance to see some young kids going through some tough stuff," said Jerry Gray, the Falcons' assistant head coach for defense. "I always look and say, 'Man, what are they going through?' They've got to go back to the school where it happened.
