Not that it happens often, but I wonder why these football injuries that result in death always happen at the HS level and not the NFL or College? Because the kids aren't fully grown/developed?

Prayers sent... Another heartbreaking reminder of how short and fragile life can be. That's why it's important for us all to appreciate every day we wake up in the morning, because you just never know when it could be over.

Wow. Another tragic reminder of the worst case scenario on a football field. As a parent, I can't imagine the heartache that family is feeling right now. God bless.

Just the odds. More kids in highschool than college or pros.

A poem from AE Houseman

To an Athlete Dying Young

THE time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.

To-day, the road all runners come, 5
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.

Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay, 10
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.

Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers 15
After earth has stopped the ears:

Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man. 20

So set, before its echoes fade,
The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
And hold to the low lintel up
The still-defended challenge-cup.

And round that early-laurelled head 25
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl's.

Prayers sent. Such a tragedy.
