'Will Never Be Forgotten' A local community is mourning Caden Tellier, generosity and love Caden Tellier, the quarterback for Morgan Academy, died Saturday home opener night, his family confirmed on social media. As such, we have eight athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Maine Football Player of the Week award from September 5-7, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Gulf District Schools Superintendent Jim Norton confirmed that Chance Gainer, an 18-year-old wide receiver and defensive back at Port St. Joe High School, died following the away game at Liberty County High School. As he progressed through the youth ranks at the club, he was a player Arsene Wenger identified as a talent with the potential to go far. "He was a remarkable athlete, a beloved teammate, and an overall exceptional young man who loved Jesus," Norton said in a statement from the district. "Chance was quiet but exuded captivating warmth and genuineness that drew people to him." The Bulldogs opened up the season with an impressive win and performance from Thornton. The signal caller finished completing 8-of-9 passes for 148 yards and three touchdowns. Kane had a sighter when he expertly swivelled inside Craig Cathcart to test Daniel Bachmann before Hojbjerg invited Sergio Reguilon to arrow his shot hard towards the far corner, bringing a fine two-handed save from the Watford goalkeeper. A verified GoFundMe page created to support Gainer's family described the teen as a "star athlete" and a "well loved classmate." After three weeks of the season, only two No. 1 ranked teams in the Alabama Sports Writers Association prep football rankings received all 18 first-place votes. Reigning 7A champ Central-Phenix City continues to be a unanimous choice in its classification, while Jackson also received all the No. 1 votes in Class 4A. Nearly a century ago in 1928, Champion was a senior at Perry when he died as a result of head trauma while making a tackle in a game at Mentor. He was the first high school student-athlete in Lake County to die while in competition. Port St. Joe High School Principal Sissy Godwin said in the statement that, "You may not have heard Chance in the crowd, but you could see his smile from across the room." While researching and writing a story on Champion in 2017, I recall being struck standing in Perry Cemetery at Champion's gravesite by the simplicity of the stone but the tragic gone-far-too-soon message it conveyed: "Vaughn M. Champion — (March) 4, 1910 — Oct. 5, 1928"
