Former Sebastian River High football coach Chuck Kenyon had Kamaree in weightlifting class last school year and called him a “good all-around kid.”
“He was always respectful,” said Kenyon, who is now an assistant football coach at Veterans High School in Kathleen, Georgia. “I never had a teacher email me and say that he was being a problem.”
Sebastian River High football coach Tyrone Perry said the team will not be practicing Monday and that about 40 players met Sunday at Woody’s.
“We’ll meet as a team and go from there,” Perry said of meeting with the team Monday. “I just want them to know that we’re there for them. I just want to make sure the kids are OK.”
Sebastian River High School is high school located in Sebastian, Florida, that was opened in August 1994. Grief counselors will be available at the high school for students and teachers beginning on Monday, September 17.
