Very sad to read this.

As much as I love football, it won't bother me a bit if my 5 year old son never puts on a helmet again. Praying for that family.

We had almost the same thing happen here in Kingsport with a guy named Jake. He went down on a play and he may of came out of it for a little but word was he took way to many energy drinks and he's heart basically blew up. Sad prayers are sent.

This kind of thing happens a lot more than it used to; or maybe with the media the way that it is these days, it allows us to hear about it more and it's always been this way. Either way, this is very sad news. I have to agree with Fade, I'm not going to push my son one way or another on playing but I would be just fine if he doesn't. Prayers for the family.

Thanks for the prayers for the family and our community. Last night was our homecoming game and our team is ranked #1 in AAA here in SC. Rouse was a leader on this team and a great kid who will be greatly missed. RIP
