ATLANTA -- As we head for Championship Weekend, take a look at the latest USA Today Metro Atlanta Super 25 Girls Lacrosse Poll. The birds from North Fulton still lead the way.

The Milton girls are still atop the Super 25 this week, with Walton, Lassiter, Centennial, and Mill Creek in the top 5.

Westminster, McIntosh, Alpharetta, Chattahoochee, and Kell round out the top 10.

MARIETTA, Ga. -- Today's Random Act of Kindness is for a special woman named Ashley, from Marietta. 

Ashley is a wonderful person who goes above and beyond the classroom as a teacher to truly connect with her kids and make their lives better. She is always putting her students first, and worries about herself last.

Thanks to a tip from her co-worker Debra, 11Alive and Mimosa Salon Spa were able to give Ashley a special gift.

WILSON, NC -- John McNeil has certainly been forced to take an unusual path to freedom. 11Alive went to talk with McNeil about his time in prison, his overturned conviction and the plea deal that would eventually allow him to go home. But what we found wasn't a murder case, but a love story.

Here's the history of his case: In 2005, his son called him in a panic after he says a contractor, Brian Epp, waiving a knife threatened to kill him. McNeil raced home, calling 911 to alert police to what was going on, only to be confronted by Epp himself in his driveway. Even after McNeil fired a warning shot, a witness would testify, Epp lunged at him.

"He didn't just walk over, he ran over," said McNeil, sitting in the living room of a close personal friend.
