    I didn’t know Noah personally, but Coach Fountain had paired him with my son Trae’ as a mentor and he loved him. He always had good things to say about Noah and that green apple camaro. My prayers goes out to his mom, the Kirk family and his team and classmates because only God can heal their hearts during this time of sadness.

    So sad. My heart aches for the family. I wouldn’t want to go on if I lost one of my children but with God’s help I’d get through. I pray the family of this young man will put their trust in God and get through this sad time in their life.
