Offensive lineman Austin Harrison, left, and linebacker Corbitt Williams wait to field questions from the media. The Elberta High football team gathered Tuesday morning for the first time since the death of senior linebacker Avery Pickle over the Fourth of July weekend.
On Tuesday, after he met with his team and members of the community, McDaniel -- along with seniors Austin Harrison and Corbitt Williams -- made their scheduled appointment at Baldwin County High School Media Day in Daphne. Much of their 25-minute time at the podium was spent remembering a friend, teammate and brother.
McDaniel said Pickle was the fourth player he has coached during his career who has died. It’s the first current player he has lost, however. McDaniel said there were plenty of Avery Pickle stories rehashed on Tuesday morning. He expects that to continue for quite a while.
