Infolady Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 On June 2, 2009, 16 yr old Blake Batchelor was killed in a car wreck on his way home from football conditioning. He was taking a short cut gravel road home and lost control of his vehicle. He went off the road into a creek. The vehicle landed upside down in 3 feet of water. Blake was knocked unconscious during the wreck and drowned. Blake's mother, Paula, was giving my son a ride home from a band field trip about 5:30. Also with her were 2 other son's, Cody and RJ. They discovered the truck upside down in the creek and tried to extract him but could not. I was called at 5:45 from the crash site by my son and rushed to the scene at the same time the first police officer arrived. We extracted Blake but it was to late. Blake was a member of the ISWA along with his 2 younger brothers. His mother is our club "everything" and his Father, Rick, helps out with coaching. They have been a blessing to me, my family and our club. Paula has told me on several occasions how glad she was that I got her son's into the club. I am asking for any contributions to help the Batchelor family during this tragic event. No amount is to small. If you could forward this to any ISWA club, I would appreciate this. I know how supportive the wrestling community is that is why I am reaching out to you. Contributions can be made the following ways...
