LULING, Texas_By the end of practice Aug. 17, it already was apparent to his coaches that sophomore Steven Taylor Coe would have started at defensive end and would have been a rotating play-carrier at receiver when Luling High School opened its football season Friday night at Kenedy.

"He had a great off-season and really was growing into his body," coach Jeff Rochat said.

Coe, 15, died about an hour after a light practice in the relative cool of that Aug. 17 morning. He was the next-to-last of six middle school, high school and college football players who collapsed and later died at practice or just after it from July 19 through Aug. 18.
