Prayers for Watertown

[Eddie]

Rising Watertown High senior Tyler Russell died Wednesday night following a two-car accident on the Sparta Pike. Russell, a D-Lineman for the Purple Tigers, was a passenger in a car with two teammates and a younger boy (brother of one of the other players). They were headed to pick up some clothes so they could spend the night together, then go to workouts together the next morning. Their vehicle was struck by a car driving on the wrong side of the road and was spun into a bluff. The other three were treated and released, Tyler died at the scene. Bond Memorial Chapel in Mt. Juliet is in charge of arrangements. Funeral services 10 a.m. Monday at the Galdeville Baptist Church. Terrible tragedy. By all accounts, Watertown lost a fine young man.

I work with some people that knew this young man.

My prayers are with his family.

This is so sad, it could happen to any of us, hug your kids, hold them as long as you can. I saw the interview with Coach Gavin Webster, very touching. Thoughts and prayers.

Prayer's for this family and program going up from here. Really a sad story. Words cannot say how sorry I am for all involved.

They are now saying the driver of the other vehicle was drinking. Four kids doing nothing wrong and an impaired driver does this. TERRIBLE!

[Grunt]

Deepest sympathy from Grunt & TC, to this family. According to THP, alcohol was involved in

the driver of the other vehicle that struck Tyler. Hope they throw the key away. Inexcusable.
