My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Regardless of his prowess on the field this is a young man who had his entire life ahead of him.

The quarry they were swimming at was about 10mins away from my house. Marble Cliff is where I believe they were.

RIP Rico.

First off, RIP Rico.

But really quarry's aren't hard to drown in. They are very dangerous. Pickerington lost one of theirs back in 2003, Trey Hunter.

If you get caught in a pocket, you're done. Not even Michael Phelps could survive if he caught. It's very unfortunate.
