NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Former Denbigh High star and current Tennessee Titans cornerback BW Webb kicked off his Celebrity Weekend Friday morning. He took a bus load of his closest friends around Newport News and Hampton, handing out bagged lunches and drinks. Kids also got autographed footballs.

"Seeing all these kids is like seeing us when we were little" says Webb.

Later on in the evening Denbigh High was filled to see local athletes play in the celebrity basketball game. Former Norfolk State defensive lineman Lynden Trail, Michael Vick, Tyrod Taylor, and former William & Mary guard Marcus Thornton were a few names fans were treated to.

"I think it's good motivation for the kids, it's also fun to come out and put on a show, good safe fun, glad to be a part of it'" says Marcus Thornton.

Webb is hosting a camp Saturday at Woodside High starting at 9 a.m.
