A standout New Jersey high school football player has died as a result of an apparent traumatic brain injury suffered during a game two weeks ago.
“Together we prayed for a miracle and hoped for a different outcome. I trust that God knows better,” Armstead wrote in a social media post.
“With your prayers, Xavier fought a good fight. In the end, he succumbed to the injuries that he sustained a couple weeks ago while playing football during the LHS Tigers’ game vs Woodbridge.” “This news hurts because I have known his parents, Lisa and Norm, for years, Xavier and Andres, their two sons, since they were little boys,” Armstead continued. “Tragically their worst fear came true.”
Linden School District staff learned of Xavier’s death on Thursday morning in an email from the superintendent, according to NJ.com.Xavier was one of only a select few sophomores that earned a starting time on the school’s varsity squad, and even played at times last year as a freshman, the outlet reported.
