For your prayers

Former Hart County wide receiver Teddy Craft died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash Wednesday night near Statesboro.

Craft takes it to the house against Cedartown in the 1999 Class AA semifinals at the Georgia Dome (Photo from the Athens Banner-Herald).

I remember in 2000, when former Hart County quarterback Jeff Leard was chasing the state's single-season passing record, Craft gave me plenty of good quotes about how it was his goal to get his teammate this honor. Plus he was a cut-up at the Bulldogs' practices, always there with a good-natured yet disparaging comment about any of his teammates during my interviews with them.

Let's send our thoughts and prayers to Craft's family and friends. He was a good kid, and he'll be missed.
