EVERMAN - Everman High School reacted to tragedy on the football team for the second time in less than a year Thursday when a star player bound for TCU died after collapsing during a run on the school track.
Craig Boatwright, a senior defensive end and a candidate for homecoming king at tonight's game, collapsed at 7:25 a.m. Thursday, minutes from the end of a two-mile run to work off a punishment.
The 17-year-old stopped, appeared fatigued and fell to the track at Marr Stadium, according to band members who were practicing on the football field.
