Jamari Smith And Allen Merrick
It was very tragic when Jamari Smith drowned to his death on the 27th of March. Meanwhile, Allen Merrick passed away in an accidental shooting incident on the 14th of August. They were members of the AUB Blazers football team, so it was a double-whammy. It did not help that they were both still so young! The former came from Robert E. Lee High, while the latter was from Gadsden High. “I know both families have faith, but at the same time, it’s hard,” said head coach Bill Clark when he talked to WBRC in August about it. He said, “We just let them know they’re going to be part of our UAB family forever.”
