The Northeast ISD Athletic Department really got it right. With the opening of their new stadium, Heroes Stadium no doubt, they named the encircling street after a truly great athlete. Not for his contribution on the field, even though he was pretty good. But for everything that happened after. David Edwards was hurt during Madison's playoff game with Austin Westlake. I was there and it was one of the most chilling scenes of my life. It really took out of everyone at the field that day. It was touch and go for the months that followed, but when he finally did return to the field...Wow! He didn't play another down, but he galvanized a school and a community. Everytime I saw him he had a smile. I don't know if I would have. Would you? Anyway, Congratulations to the Edwards family. David was taken too soon but in that time he touched so many. Everytime I drive into that stadium I will remember, we all should!!!
