Smoaky Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I would rather not go into many details at this time, but, due to a tragedy within the New Boston football program, the Lions scrimmage on Thursday night against Gilmer has been canceled. Both Coach Traylor and Coach Thomas knew I would be posting this information. I've contacted numerous coaches in Class 5-A, 4-A, 3-A, and 2-A in East Texas in case they want to add Gilmer to a three-way scrimmage, but, that's basically irrelevant at this time. Again, I just don't feel comfortable giving out more information at this time. I'm sure, as the day progresses, more information will become available. Meanwhile, please keep New Boston in your prayers. Thank you. David Smoak Smoaky.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoaky Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I appreciate everyone respecting my initial request for as much privacy as possible. But, yes, awful news, a young man is gone too soon, far too soon, and a program, school and community is grieving. God Bless the young man involved too, he will need tremendous support over the next few days, months and into the future. David Smoak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
