When former Jacksonville Jaguar Lonnie Marts Jr. hung up the phone last fall after talking with Times-Union reporter Beth Reese Cravey, he had no idea what would happen next: A story about a community, a good cause and a newspaper. Cravey had reached out to the former linebacker to talk to him for a November story about his new Level the Playing Field Leadership Academy. To explain what he was trying to accomplish with the academy, Marts told Cravey about his relationship with his mother. Janet Marie Marts was a single parent raising Lonnie in a low-income New Orleans neighborhood. She and Lonnie’s grandparents worked hard to keep Marts out of trouble.
