Update: Monday, 9 a.m. Reports are circulating that the victims of the Sunday night shooting at the University of Virginia include current members of the UVA Football team.

There are no words to express the grief that the Woodland community is feeling right now. Everything about Lavel Davis was first class and the world is a sadder place because he is gone. Prayers for everyone in the Davis family and the Woodland Community.
