BATTLE GROUND — Jason Johnson II tossed a ball around with another teenager Sunday afternoon at Bailey’s Tiger Bowl. Then he put on a pair of DUI goggles and tried again.

The 14-year-old Battle Ground High School student threw the ball far outside of the other boy’s reach.

“It wasn’t going to him, even though I was absolutely sure it was going to,” Jason said.
