Josh McGee and "Raider Nation" got to
work on helping Savion and his family
every way they could. McGee, who has
known Savion since his freshman year, is
amazed at how fast they came up with
ways to raise money.
"From fish plates to wristbands, we've
done everything you could think of,"
McGee said.
"I'm amazed at how people like Chase
Vaden, who didn't play with Savion that
_ long, wanted to help."
Vaden, who graduated in 2014 and
only,played one year with Savion, came up
with the idea for the Pray for Sae 7-on-7
tournament. The tournament will be May
30 at Reagan and will put some of the best
talent in the area on showcase. Admission
will be $5; children under 10 get in free.
All the proceeds and donations will go to
Savion and his family.
Last year, Vaden helped organize a
tournament that provided over 1,000 meals
to the homeless of Winston-Salem.
"We wanted to do something a little
different this year," Vaden said. "I
approached Savion with the idea, he
agreed, and we started working on getting
it done."
The tournament will feature separate
brackets for high school and college play
ers. Registration for the tournament ended
May 8. East Forsyth, Carver, Reagan, Mt.
Tabor and Parkland High Schools will be
represented. The finals of the tournament
will be streamed nationwide on
CoachesAid.com.
The tournament will be two-hand tag
and will follow the double elimination for
mat. Teams are allowed 10 players per
team. Match ups for the tournament have
not yet been decided.
Denard Smoot, who is responsible for
getting the teams to participate, believes
no matter who wins, the match-ups will be
a must-see.
"It will be very exciting," Smoot said.
"We have a lot of talent coming."
Savion, whose favorite player is Ray
Lewis, is eager to get back on the field.
Most of ail, he misses the intensity.
'That's what I like most about foot
ball," Savion said. "I can't wait to get back
on the field. There's no doubt that I'll be
back out there."
