This past week Princeton lost Lamar Williams, the third player lost from the football team in the past three years.
The first was Ryan Sawyer who died in a car crash on a wet, dark road in Mason.
The second was Jovante Woods who died from as asthma attack in his home.
Lamar Williams "was shot after he participated in a robbery, according to Springdale police," as a Cincinnati Enquirer article writes.
I haven't been around school yet, having just gotten back from a week-long material science camp in Dayton, and I'm not close to most of the students on the football team, so I have no real idea how Princeton's students and staff are taking things, but I wonder how we will remember to mourn the person and the loss but remind our students that this young man clearly put himself in a bad situation, one that can lead very easily where it seems to have lead.
