CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREA California high school football player is believed to have drowned in a rip current after going missing while boogie boarding at Half Moon Bay, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Naphtali "Neff" Moimoi, an 18-year-old Hayward High School defensive lineman, was boogie boarding at Poplar Beach with members of his football team Thursday, the outlet reported. A rip current pulled Moimoi out after he fell off his board and his teammates attempted to create a human chain to grab him. They were unable to reach him.On Friday, more than 100 people attended a vigil at Hayward, according to ABC7.

"He always pushed me on and off the field, with school and my grades. He was always working. He was just preaching to me how important it was to grades and you gotta stay focused," Moimoi's childhood friend Russell Winston III told ABC7. Moimoi had been a starter on the defensive line since freshman year, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMORE

Dixie no more: A California school board votes to change system’s nameDecision follows a bitter fight over a name that detractors said was racist. California is a sh*t hole.

Columbine High School shooting anniversary observed with vigils and memorialsA series of commemorative events to mark the 20th anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting concluded Saturday with a ceremony paying tribute to the victims and highlighting the ongoing strength of the suburban Denver community. We haven't come very far. The school board, administrators, nor the sheriff's department were ever held accountable for this preventable tragedy. Same for Parkland - but add the Obama administration's Education Secretary, Arne Duncan, to the mix.
