LEESBURG - A 15-year-old Leesburg Boy Scout, Jayson Howey, exhibited bravery and quick action as he put his own life on the line to save another.

Howey was one of several teens standing nearby when 8-year-old Zachary Winchester fell through the ice on the Backwater Lake channel and was in danger of drowning. Without hesitation, Howey found a broken limb and carefully slid across the ice until he could reach Winchester with the limb, pulling him out by his collar.
