spring break sorrow

on holy thursday night this past weekend, a star recruit for the Notre Dame fighting irish football team died in a Spring Break tragedy. Matt James, a senior at St. Xavier academy in Cincinnati Ohio, fell off the balcony of a third story hotel room in Panama City Beach, Florida. He died on impact and his funeral will be this week. He was intoxicated as he leaved over the edge and fell.

Spring Break can be such a blast but so much trouble can come from it. The stupidity of how high school and college kids act on these trips is insane. They feel invincible and like nothing can affect them down there. This young man Matt James had so much promise. A great student and a great kid heading to a great school to play football. He had such a promising life ahead of him and it ended in such a short and tragic way. On Spring Break, the Florida area cops should step up their patrol and crack down on people with alcohol to save tragedies like this from happening
