Coach Clark on the Passing of Davon Cruz


At my age I could have been called home yesterday and not have been cheated in this life. The tragic loss of Davon Cruz (in a car accident) on January 1st reminds us again that although God is good, sometimes life just sucks. He had a smile that could light up a room and as a player he brought Division I ability to the Division III level. Anytime the words "All-Time" follow your name, you know you had impact in a program. As the All-American TB on our 01' Stagg Bowl team, Davon was a key player in our success. We need to keep Carmen (his mom) and the rest of his family in our prayers.

In his time with us we shared both highs and lows. The walls of Nininger Hall are covered with pictures of #15. His nickname was the "Mule" for the load he carried and delivered on teams who changed the image of BC football. I always appreciate the players in our program who are tough people and play hard. Davon was one of these players. We are better here because of his efforts and the standards he helped shape. Always an Eagle, let's look for ways to be a good teammate to Davon and his family at this tough time.
