Ja’Quayvin Smalls laid to rest near Charleston
MOUNT PLEASANT,SC–The Charleston Post Courier covers the funeral of Ja’Quayvin Smalls, a Western Carolina football player who passed away during an off-season workout last week. Some 45 WCU players and coaches attended the funeral.
In addition, the university announced ways it will remember Smalls during the upcoming season:
As is customary with the passing of any currently enrolled student, the Western Carolina University flag at the main entrance to the university campus was flown at half staff on Monday in remembrance of Smalls.
For the upcoming 2009 football season, the Western Carolina team plans to wear “JS” decals on the back of every helmet in memory of Smalls. His locker inside the Dale and Dianne Hollifield Locker Room in the Ramsey Center will not be reassigned and will be memorialized to include his helmet, uniform and any additional game-day equipment.
In addition, there also will be a one-year moratorium on the use of the No. 3 jersey that would have been worn by Smalls.
