The death of a 13-year-old student in Boone County has sparked conversation on how player deaths from school sports are investigated.
Madison Middle School student Cohen Craddock died over the weekend from a traumatic brain injury he sustained during football practice. At the time of his injury, he was wearing a helmet.
During a virtual press briefing Thursday, Gov. Jim Justice called the boy’s death a tragedy.
He also said he would be open to state investigations from the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) into player deaths from school sports.
“If the SSAC would do their own investigation, or whomever it may be, I’m all in,” he said.
Craddock’s father told news outlets his family is still mourning the loss. He also said he will advocate for better protective headgear for student-athletes, specifically soft-shell helmet covers.
“I want to take the loss of my boy to try to protect the other guys,” he told the Associated Press. “I don’t want anybody else to go through what we are going through currently.”

This interview explores the best way to use AI to get what you want – and not fabricated or false answers that seem real.
