cmeister Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 From the Jackson Sun: Kane Young, a Humboldt High School rising senior football player, died Thursday after being pulled from a swimming pool Wednesday night. His death appears to be an accidental drowning, said Humboldt police Assistant Chief Bill Baker. Young was initially taken to Humboldt General Hospital and then to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, where he died. Young, a lineman, was the "heart and soul" of the Vikings football team, coach Dan Bland said. "It's devastating to everybody," Bland said. "I think he was going to be the best lineman in Tennessee." Young was a member of Murphy Fair's preseason Class 2A All-State team and set school weightlifting records in spring practice. "He really worked hard," Bland said. "He was an outstanding youngster." The death comes less than two weeks before the start of the school year and just a few days before the start of official football practices. "He was going to be fantastic," Bland said. "He was really looking forward to it." -- Prayers for Kane's family and friends, the Viking football team, and the Humboldt High School community.

wardawg2038 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Prayer from Lake County for this young man's family and friends and teammates. I know some of the LC players recently were at an FCA camp with him. We never know what God's plans are prayers to the Viking Nation.
