CBS47 in Jacksonville is reporting that the spring football game between First Coast High School and Ed White High School is being overshadowed by violence.

Two First Coast High School student-athletes have been shot and killed in recent weeks, including 18-year junior DB Johnnel Johnson.  Because of the threat of more violence, the spring game between the two had to be moved from First Coast High School to Ed White High.

The start time was also changed from 7pm to 3pm.
