The death of a Pulaski County high school football player after an injury in practice last week is bringing back terrible memories for another Kentucky family. Andrew Dodson died Monday – a little less than three years after Matthew Mangine Jr. died during soccer conditioning drills at an Erlanger high school. His father, Matt Mangine Senior, said he’s reached out to Dodson’s parents and hopes, in time, to offer some comfort.
“But after a couple of months, I was able to connect with some other parents that lost their children on, on athletic fields, and it was great just to connect with them to kind of cry, talk, just understand the feelings, you know, that you're feeling.”
