It is with great regret that I have to alert the Bridgewater Football family that Desmond Jalloh passed away Sunday morning in Northern Virginia. Dez was a passionate football player for us in his time here at BC. Those of us that knew him, know that on Saturday as a teammate he would lay it on the line for the Eagles. He was a complex man, but I know he had a Faith component that insures him a peace in the next life that his competitive nature sometime denied him here. We enjoyed seeing him at Shenandoah and Homecoming this year and I think we can all be a good teammate of his again by keeping his Mom and sisters and his close friend Brittany in our prayers. Death and youth is a bad combination, but sometimes we have to deal with it in life. I remember winning a game at Emory and Henry on the road in 2007 and Ferrum in overtime in 2006 that we would not have won without his effort. Thanks Dez, and God’s Peace to you!
