As reported in Wednesday's edition of the Avery Journal-Times, six Mitchell High School football players were involved in a truck accident last Friday afternoon. Two of the players were unharmed but the remaining four players suffered varying injuries, with two of the players remaining hospitalized.In light of the accident, football will be secondary in the minds of many at Mitchell on Friday when the Mountaineers host Swain County.
Mitchell will take donations at the Swain game to help defray medical expenses for the injured players' families.
The thoughts and prayers of Viking Nation are with our Mitchell County neighbors during this difficult time.
