A tragic week for local athletics

This has been a very devastating week for high school sports, with the apparent drowning death of Coppell wide receiver Jacob Logan, and the apparently unrelated suicide death of Coppell track athlete Jonah Blackwell. Add to that the death of Creekview linebacker Kiet Nguyen last month, and a lot of people are wondering why. Our children are attending too many funerals…not just the three we mentioned. Many of these deaths can be prevented, and we encourage parents to talk honestly with their kids about all the dangers out there. We’ve lost three athletes this year…one to an accident, one to a suicide and one to a drug overdose, We can only hope that some good will happen out of these tragedies. The crew of Archer Communications sends our thoughts and prayers to the families and friends affected by these three tragedies.
