On 7-25-09 the Junction City Tigers are saden by a lost of a teammate, friend #2 Chris White passed away at the age of 25 in a car accident just outside Grandview/Junction City, KS. He lost control of the vechile and two passenger tires went off the road and rolled his truck and hit a tree and then caught on fire. He was prounced dead at the scene.
The upcoming year the Tigers will wear decals with his initials on the helmet and no one will wear jersey #2. #2 will be official retired on the Tigers team. The Tigers sister team Topeka Mudcats Women Football team will also remember Chris by wearing decals on the helmet and also #2 will be set aside for him.
