Here are the top 3 stories in Huntington today:

1. Greenlawn concert scheduled for May 20 to benefit Ukranian charities.

2. Huntington High School alum Jared Leake joins New York Giants as an undrafted free agent. The defensive back will compete for a spot on the roster at New York's rookie camp. "Jared has had the goal of playing in the NFL since early in his career, so it’s great to see his hard work and commitment earn him this opportunity,” said Hobart head coach Kevin DeWall. “With focus on training his body and improving his skill set, he developed into a top cornerback in the Northeast and a very important piece in our team success the last two seasons. Jared is eager to compete and showcase his abilities to prove he is worthy of the opportunity. (Greater Long Island)
