That would be a great jesture. It would be great to see each team's #12 be captain and instead of all the players standing during the coin toss, have them all take a knee.

Well said Mike.

[quote name="Gasilla" post="850091" timestamp="1284788395"] I am posting this as many places as I can and I pray the family sees it: True story- Seven years ago my oldest son had a birthday/slumber party with several of his buddies from school. I have to admit that the thought of 10, 10 year old boys the night before my youngest sons first baseball game (a team that I was coaching) was not my idea of a stellar night. The boys came over and, as expected, were a typical wild group of 10 yr olds. However, thru talking with the kids I found myself talking to a kindred spirit. A 10 year old that had the same passion for football that I did. We sat and talked football while all the other boys ran around like their hair was on fire. I finally got all of the boys to settle down and as they all went to sleep and finally shut up, that one kid and I started talking football again in the pitch dark amongst all of the snoring. We talked a bunch about it that night, but in those final hours in the dark he said what has stuck with me for years since. The following is what he told me, "Sometimes I feel like I was put on this earth to play football. When I have a football in my hands, it just feels right. When I am on the field, I feel like it's where I belong". That boy's name was Reggie Garrett. Great student, great kid, friend, role model and athlete. I cannot understand why the things that happened tonight happened and my heart is broken into a million pieces for his family, friends and this community. I know God has a plan and as hard as it is right now I will keep my faith in that. I also thank God for that night and the pleasure it was to talk with that young man the way we did. He was special and even though our Lord saw fit to call him home early, I have no doubt that he took him doing what he loved most in this world. I write this with a heavy heart and I cannot stop the tears. But, I feel like God is telling me to let the family know of his words and how he felt about what he was doing when he was called home. I know there is nothing that can ease the pain right now, but in time I pray that the words he told me so many years ago will bring some comfort to his mother and father. [/quote] Great story...I heard about this towards the end of our game with Newton.  I can't even hardly remember much that happened the last several minutes of the game.  I was in shock.  I had tears swell up in my eyes and your story just released them.  This is a sad day for all of our area.  I didn't know Reggie of course,  but from what I have seen on here,  he must have been a great kid.  I can't begin to imagine what his family and the WOS football community are feeling.  I don't even want to have the thought of it happening to anyone I know personally.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.  Fridays have been about football since the season started.  Now that is meaningless.  Instead of worrying about he outcome of a particular we should be more focused on enjoying the efforts of these kids.  May the rest of the season be safe for all of our young athletes.
