Seems as though I remember one of the mascots being killed in a car crash on Old Hammond Road...wasn't that Mark Jeffers?

No. That was a guy named Brent. He was on the drum line in 1988, I believe, and donned the Mike costume for 1989.

Guy was driving down the road minding his own business when a guy coming the opposite direction lost a trailer he was pulling. The trailer veered into Brent's lane and sheared the top of his car off...including Brent's head. He had the Mike costume in his trunk. Very sad.
