According to a post on the Triton School Corporation Facebook page, Cameron Fairchild was involved in a vehicle accident Saturday afternoon, Aug. 28, and passed away from injuries sustained in that accident. The Triton Facebook post said school personnel, counselors and clergy would be at the school for those who may need a safe space to speak with someone or grieve. The post also asks for prayers for Cameron’s family. No other details about the accident were immediately available. I think the number was 2700 school aged students were killed in 2019 from car accidents. Teen driving is incredibly dangerous for young adults. Obviously I have no idea of the details of this accident. Incredible amount of prayers go out to his family, teammates, and friends. A regular Saturday afternoon turned into a living hell. So very sorry for their loss. While I was in HS we lost a teammate to a car accident in the offseason. Not something I would wish on anyone. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of the most terrifying aspect of being a parent is the day they get their drivers license. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Whitko won state in 1986...but not without tragedy. Ryan Huff was a junior and the starting punter and back up fullback for the 1986 state champion football team. Ryan was killed in a multiple car traffic accident the weekend before the sectional championship game against Tippy Valley. Also involved in the accident, in a seperate vehicle, was another Whitko football player and one of the starting defensive backs for the team. That player suffered injuries that sidelined him for the remainder of the season. The coaches and team pulled together in a family bond that still exists to this day. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that 2 weeks later, Ryan played an integral part of Whitko’s regional championship game where they overcame a 4th quarter 20 point deficet to defeat Shenandoah 21-20. Ryan’s picture adorns the state championship trophy to this day….a team decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s insanely suspicious too, I saw one player’s address was listed to an abandoned warehouse.

Steubenhoosier Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 There were 6,100 new cases of covid reported last week in Indiana schools. Over 5,500 were students, the rest faculty and staff. Can you imagine how many people these 6,100 come in contact with? Parents, grandparents, and on and on. You guys continue the narrative of how ridiculous it is to be overly cautious. Until it hits home personally, it’s just a narrative that too many want to ignore. Yep, I’m the “memories” guy that continues to get disparaged. A few months of football, or a lifetime of knowing that you made decisions that might have saved lives. Hmmm.. man, that’s a tough one 😷🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm.. man, that’s a tough one 😷🙄 You don't get to decide what's important to who. If kids decide to not take the risk, more power to them. Quarantining perfectly healthy 16 year olds from a virus that has little to no effect on them.. absurd and should be deemed unconstitutional. The over caution is absolutely absurd, and unneeded, and incredibly misplaced. If you're sick or positive you stay home. Nothing more, nothing less. The masks are stupid, but meh.. I've complied with it before and I am now. You don't really have the right to tell someone what should and shouldn't be important to them. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
