Hey everyone & good morning! Last Thurs. after school @ my daughters school some of the JV football player & varsity were waiting on JV game to start & went across the road to a convenience store. This is typical as they are @ a smaller school & this store is almost like an extension of the school. Everyone knows everyone.This 14 year old boy on JV team was crossing back to the school & was hit by a car. Unfortunately there were some other team members just behind him & witnessed the whole thing. Some say they saw him get hit & etc.This poor little boy was airlifted I think, & passed away shortly after. This child was only 14!!!! This is a horrible tragedy & I can't imagine how his family & friends are coping with this. His funeral is this afternoon & I know lots of students will be attending. My daughter didn't know him personally but alot of her friends did. Nonetheless all the kids are mourning the loss of this little boy. The school had a game FRi. night & did a beautiful tribute to this young man. My daughter said it was very somber @ school on Fri. I would like to ask everyone to lift this young mans family, friends, & school up in your prayers today. Grab your child today & hug them just a little tighter.....that's exactly what I did.
