Rest In Peach Caleb. My thoughts are with Caleb's family. Everything I've heard about him has been positive. I never met Caleb but I have shed many tears for him this week. I hope the school chooses to retire Caleb's #30 Jersey. He is deserving and it would be a special ceremony. -Eric Murphy (Ayden, NC)
