32 year old David Coleman Jr of the Jay County Panthers Died dury a charity football game at Springfield high school. He was blindsided while trying to make a tackle. Prayers to his five girls and the rest of his family.

Not that it matters, but Dave didn't play any sports in HS did he? I don't think he did. There is a small thread in the sports/trivia forum. Tragic story anyways.

Sympathies go out to his loved ones.

I watched some of that game, however didn't tune in long enough to watch the hit. I couldn't watch it anymore because it was such a sloppy attempt at football. When you can only practice once or twice a week you're asking for people to get hurt. I know a lot of guys on the NWO Knights team, and most shouldn't be throwing the pads on. They're just not in shape for it.

Making people buy their own equipment is probably the worst part though. Most of the guys just go out and get the cheapest they can find. Many people on the field that day were wearing pads that looked from the 80's. One guy was wearing just sweatpants.
