On Friday, October 20, 2023, the Leominster Blue Devil’s Football team celebrated their seniors at their senior night game against Shrewsbury High School. There were 2 seniors who were not there. Jadon Etheart and Edward Wayland.
Jadon Etheart passed away as an eighth grade student at Sky View Middle School, and Edward Wayland passed away as a freshman.
The mothers of the seniors made posters for their sons, and ensured that when the seniors took the field, their boys would be represented.
Senior captain Tyler Witzgall said it was important for the team to acknowledge their lost teammates and, “to honor in the senior night that they never got the opportunity to have.”
Tyler said, “Jadon’s mother was there and it was nice to have her walk out with the team.”
The team pulled out a 48-26 win over Shrewsbury. Perhaps they had a few guardian angels cheering them on.
