HubTx Posted November 16, 2010 Report Posted November 16, 2010 This football season needs to end... Too much sadness involved this season...
HI_#20_Mom Posted November 16, 2010 Report Posted November 16, 2010 I cannot even imagine how these tragedies affect the families. Prayers for all involved. The Ref attempted CPR before he was “taken†to the hospital!I wonder if they normally have an ambulance on site or not?
Cheermom4 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Posted November 16, 2010 How horrible, prayers for his family, fellow athletes, friends and community.
WOSgrad Posted November 16, 2010 Report Posted November 16, 2010 I don't know what the coroner ruled as the cause of death for Reggie. In fact, one of the more disturbing things was the possibility that we may never know what caused it.Prayers go out to the family, teammates, school and the community there in Massachusetts.
