Stewarts Creek, Smyrna to honor fallen Blue Angel

Related Topics: Blue Angels

Smyrna's football team will go right back into rivalry mode on Friday night when it plays at Stewarts Creek in the Kia of Murfreesboro Game of the Week.

While the young rivalry will be obvious important, it will take on a special meaning as well. The United States Marine Corps will be on hand to honor Blue Angels pilot Capt. Jeff Kuss, who was killed during a crash on June 3 in Smyrna.

"One of our coaches, Todd Harris, had the opportunity to fly with Blue Angels, although he did not fly with the pilot that died," said Stewarts Creek coach David Martin.
