I really hated reading about this.

A freshman pitcher for Vandy drowned yesterday afternoon.

No word yet on moving the scheduled Friday game.

Prayers for the family and the entire Vandy baseball community.

Reading about that, very tragic. Really weird situation too...his friend swam out to help him and said the guy was laughing about it, so he turned to swim back to shore and when he looked back the guy had gone under. Very tragic and seemed like it could have been avoided.

As the parent of a grad school student, freshman college student starting Monday and a sophomore in hs in the fall, I just cannot imagine.

Prayers for Vandy players, families and fans.

"One person did enter the water and pulled Everett several feet but stated that he is not a good swimmer and was struggling to stay afloat," the report said. "He stated that Everett did not seem to be struggling. The friend stated that he let go of Everett and swam back to shore still thinking Everett was 'joking.' He stated that when he looked back, Everett had gone under and did not re-surface."

Tragic. It's hard to read about a man this age losing all the life still ahead of him. Sending prayers to the Vanderbilt family.
