Cocoa Beach student dies on the practice field
Cocoa Beach (Florida) High School made the news recently when a group of students started wearing peace-oriented T-shirts to school, to which some students objected. Now a tragedy has put the school in the public eye again.
A sophomore soccer player, Rafe Maccarone of Merritt Island, collapsed during practice Friday evening, and later died in Cape Canaveral Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Women in Orlando Hospital. He was 15.
CBHS sophomore Skylar Stains, one of the organizers of the Peace T-shirt Coalition, told me over the weekend that the entire school is in shock.
The complete story about Rafe’s death is here.
My thoughts are with Rafe’s family and the entire CBHS community.
