Hart County's Craft injured in wreck

Teddy Craft was the best wide receiver I got to cover during my stint at prep editor at the Athens Banner-Herald, and unfortunately he's been seriously injured in a motorcycle accident.

On top of multiple All-Northeast Georgia selections, the kid was a Player of the Week, as well as a consensus All-State pick.

Let's keep the Craft family in our thoughts and prayers, and wish Teddy a speedy recovery.

Per the AJC,

"Tavus 'Teddy' Craft, a Georgia Southern all-conference wide receiver, has died of injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash Tuesday night near Statesboro."

That really sucks. I sorta, kinda understand the affinity toward motorcycles, but not really. They are waaay too dangerous.

I heard that a little while back. He was a really good kid, and it's a shame. Man, he could fly too. Those Hart County teams he was on could put up some points ... particularly that last one with Jeff Leard (Ben's brother) as QB.

Motorcycles are incredibly dangerous, so I'm with you in being lost on the appeal of them.
