Wayne Leroy Jones appeals from his aggravated battery conviction and asserts the general grounds. Because the State presented sufficient evidence that Jones committed aggravated battery, we affirm. Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, the record shows that Jones was looking for Jimmy Cho, a school classmate, because he wanted to question him about a statement Cho had made to his girlfriend. Jones and two of his friends, Edward Rhodes and Leon Ducking, went to a bowling alley to look for Cho. When they arrived, they saw a friend of Cho’s, Todd Vanderhoof. After Jones asked Vanderhoof if he knew where Cho was, Rhodes reached from behind Jones and punched Vanderhoof through his open car window.

After Vanderhoff drove away, Jones, Rhodes, Ducking, and two other young men began kicking another friend of Cho’s who was in the parking lot. The 16-year-old victim suffered from a subdural hematoma on the side of his head requiring surgery, two black eyes, a broken nose, and several cuts.
