Sullivan Co., Tenn—A crisis team will be on hand Monday for Sullivan South High School students after 18-year-old Jake Logue, a senior, co-captain and linebacker on the Sullivan South High School football team, died during their season opening game in Knoxville against Knox West High School. Logue collapsed during a play in the third quarter.
On Saturday night, teammates, coaches, family members and friends gathered for a candlelight vigil in Logue’s honor. Everyone painted the football field with Logue’s name and jersey number. People at the candlelight vigil also gathered in a big circle and shared a prayer.
A memorial service for Logue in Sullivan South High School’s gymnasium is tentatively scheduled for the middle of this week.
