Rebel Yeller Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 This is tragic. I grew up in FW and not too far from Southwest. They have a great baseball tradition and a coupleof state titles. The Raiders (they were the Rebels when I was growing up) have sent many players to college and to the pros. I am sure that the school is in shock and needing all our prayers as they work through this young mans death. Prayers go out to the family, his friends, his coach and his teammates.
