Horrible news, by accounts a good guy and coach. My son has reffed several of his games and had nothing but positive things to say about him and the program. RIP.

Absolutely horrible. Their radio guy for EB is from Ganado. He told me today the Jenkins’ have a senior football son which I was unaware.
We host East Bernard week 3 on 9/11. I am my high school’s announcer. I reached out to our superintendent today who is from East Bernard. We are going to try and honor them in some way week 3 on 9/11.
My sister in law’s dad said there have been mutliple fatalities on that road in the last 3 months. I personally only travel 60 every other year when we play East Bernard on the road.
That same highway took the life of a Ganado elementary student in 2001 on the way to Ganado vs Garrison in College Station semi final game.

Terrible news. Praying for the families and friends.
That would be fitting. I hope you can make that happen.
Reminds me of La Marque’s hc who passed away during a season decades ago.

There was another one that killed someone else from East Bernard earlier in the same day. Terrible.
I think at least one of his kids is on the current football team - maybe two of them.
I wonder if the car was on autopilot? The last time I drove that road, the stripes were hard to see - could affect the road-sensing in certain light conditions.

My Son, his wife and my 3 grandkids live in East Bernanrd and are very involved in the community. I had not heard this. It is a very close knit community. Tragic
I have been texting this morning with my son. They knew the family fairly well. They have 2 other sons. One at Sam Houston State and one a soph at EB. It has rocked the East Bernard community. Please pray for them. I can’t imagine.
A terrible tragedy.
Praying for the family and the community. The coach’s legacy will live on.
