Hearts are heavy at Tn High

[blazer1set]

I cannot even fathom what Viking Nation is going thru.      I remember a few years ago Boone went through something similar, it was the saddest memorial service I have ever attended.      THS, you have our prayers and sympathies, so sorry you guys are going thru this.

I’m heartbroken to hear this. Prayers going up for this young man, his friends and family, team and community.

No two people are the same, so we all have our different opinions that what causes some bickering on these threads but I can honestly say no matter how much we disagree when something tragic happens to a Player, Coach, Cheerleader, Bandmember, an Announcer or a Coacht Poster the Coacht family stick together. I don't know if his parents know anything about Coacht but their son has much love on here, I know he will be miss

So sad. Praying for that community.

Only details I know that it wasn't a suicide he just jumped off the 421 bridge, that's like a popular thing to do for teenagers, so many have done it and was successful, I've never heard of anyone drowning from jumping off so something had to go wrong when he did it 

It is popular, and jumping off bridges or cliffs is also a lot more dangerous than most people realize (especially kids). I don’t know how high the drop is there, but anything over 15-20 feet starts getting risky depending on how you hit the water, and the risk climbs exponentially as the height increases from there.  And unlike a swimming pool, if you experience an injury or problem and go under you’re done, because no one else can see where you are. So sad.
