A pair of Eastern Washington University football players may have prevented a tragedy last week on Long Lake.
On the evening of May 31, defensive linemen Dylan Zylstra and Ashton Boothroyd were fishing at the home of Boothroyd’s grandparents on the south bank of the lake when they noticed a kayaker struggling as he tried to turn against a fast current.
“People don’t realize how fast the river is going,” said Zylstra, who along with Boothroyd watched as the man flipped his kayak and spilled out of the small craft.
“I wasn’t sure if he needed help, but then he was crying bloody murder for help,” Zylstra added.
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
