Tragic story for all involved. Savion played OLB for South Pointe, and was the 13th ranked player in SC 2019 class. Prayers to both families. 

CHESTER, S.C. (AP) — Authorities say a high school football star heading to college and a school district superintendent have died after their vehicles collided head on.

Chester County Coroner Terry Tinker identified the people killed as 18-year-old Savion White from Rock Hill and 58-year-old Betty Jo Hall from Abbeville.

South Carolina Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Gary Miller said White’s SUV crossed the center line and slammed into an SUV being driven by Hall’s husband around 6 p.m. Thursday on state Highway 72 south of Chester.

Tinker told news outlets White was on his way to Newberry College where he had a football scholarship while Hall was the superintendent of Abbeville County schools.

Miller says Halls’s husband survived and everyone in the wreck was wearing their seat belts.

OMG.  This is just awful.  Dr. Hall helped me with a matter after my mom's untimely death last year.  Did not know about her death until now.

"Abbeville County School District and the Freshwater Coast Community Foundation are teaming up to establish a scholarship in memory of former school superintendent Betty Jo Hall, who died in a wreck last week.
'This scholarship will be awarded to students graduating from Abbeville County School District who plan to major in education at Lander University, Erskine College or Piedmont Technical College' said a post on the district’s Facebook page."

Betty Jo and her husband Wally were both elected into the South Carolina Shaggers Hall of Fame.
