    Whitetails Unlimited held its annual auction at the Greene County Fairgrounds to support kids in learning how to hunt.

    Patterson said over 400 people attended the Shawnee Territory Chapter Auction.

    Jasper Tall was one of two students recognized.

    He helped save a classmate who passed out back in March.

    “I was like, half asleep, and I guess adrenaline kicked in,” he said. “I was like, what’s going on? Basically, and then just kind of acted from there.”

    Caden Church was also honored. He is blind but has been wrestling and now wants to hunt.

    “I’ve always kind of wanted to do it,” he said.

    The Shawnee Territory Chapter Banquet will hold its banquet tonight at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Xenia.

    Tim Chenoweth, an event associate, said one of the students they will honor is Jasper Tall.

    As News Center 7 previously reported, he was listening to music on a school bus back in March. That’s when he noticed an unconscious student lying on the ground.

    Tall stayed with that student until help arrived.

    The second student honored is Caden Church. He is a blind student who has been wrestling since he was 8 years old. Now, he wants to go hunting.

    “Two kids were kind of standouts that were local kids,” said Chenoweth. “The kids should be recognized for what he did and everything. So that’s what we’ve done.”

    News Center 7 will update this story.
