Sad day for WWS

[ClownBaby]

A Tiger legend passed, truly a great guy if you had the chance to know him.

Phil breaking a tackle and scoring in OT against JCA allowing the Tigers to claim their first state title after falling to MC the previous two years is still the greatest play in WWS history.

Didn't know him but remember seeing him play when I was a kid.
RIP.

😢Damn . Was not a big time recruit, but was the best player I played against in HS. Tree trunk legs, guys just bounced off him.

Sorry to hear this news. I remember seeing him play in the 1992 5A quarterfinals against Lake Forest in a great game between 11-0, Top 10 teams. WWS won 24-20.

Awful news and I am getting sick and tired of dudes my age dying. This is just the beginning and I am not too thrilled about it.

Sad to hear. Was on the sidelines as a coach when they beat JCA. He was a special player. I hate seeing this

When John Thorne says those words about him, there's not much more to say

Remember watching him play vs MC in 1991 State game and have seen the film of the JCA game in. 1992, he was that typical hard nose tough high school player everyone roots for and every team feared. A good wrestler too! May he rest peacefully

Just an absolute stud to watch.

Condolences to his family and the WWS community.

Stuff like this tugs at my heart strings

Way to young for this to have happened

Awful news. I went to high school at Saint Francis with two of his brothers and his sister. Heck of a nice family. So sorry to hear of his death.

Wow. Sad news. Prayers to his family and community.

A champion's heart for sure. He was a joy to watch play. My deepest condolences to his family.
