Was on the news but just caught the tail of it. Something about a football player that died during hitti8ng drills or something like that. Anyone have any details on this?

Services will be Friday, April 2, 10:00 AM, First United Methodist Wichita Falls. Hampton-Vaughn Funeral Home, also Wichita Falls. This is third hand, but, an assistant coach told his Bible study group Shaver was blocked, fell on his rear, then fell onto his back and head, rolled to his side and started to get up but collapsed. Local paper says he was in a coma and passed when swelling of the brain cut off the oxygen supply to it. Coach (Cary not Gary) Fowler was DC at MSU 7 years and said he lived on the same street as the Shaver's. He had been DC & recruting coordinator 2 years at TSU & was interim HC until 3/8/10 when he was named HC. He succeded HC Sam McElroy who resigned in Februarty to become Defensive Line Coach for new HC Tommy Tuberville at Texas Tech. The team will attend services as a team. May God bless them all in adition to Mr. Shaver's family, friends, and Coaches.
 
The service was moved to 1st Baptist, Wichita Falls. Rider HS & TSU football teams were honorary pall bearers. A guest book is available to sign through Legacy.com. Scholarships have been established in Zach's name at Rider & Tarleton both.
