Tragedy struck the Gordo football team and the surrounding community early on Wednesday morning.

At 6:01 a.m. on 9/11/2024, The official Gordo High School Football account posted that Jack Plowman, a junior, had passed away.

"We want to express our sadness over the loss of one of our own. Jack Plowman," the account posted. "He fought to the end. We do not know why he was chosen. Maybe one day we will have that answer."

According to the Facebook Page, "Jack's Stronger than Sarcoma" Jack Plowman was 15 years old and battled Ewing's Sarcoma previously. 12 hours ago it was posted that Jack had passed away.

The account is run by Jack Plowman's mom, Chrissy.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Plowman family and the entire Gordo community as they move through this difficult time.

This story will be updated with more information as it becomes available.
