Cohen died over the weekend, in the latest tragedy involving a young football player. At least six other school athletes have died this month — at practices, games or after a practice.
“You’re in disbelief,” Cohen’s father, Ryan Craddock, told local TV station WSAZ. “You wish it was a bad dream you could wake up from. It’s agony inside. I can’t put words to. It’s terrible.”
