On the sidelines: A haunting anniversary

On a Friday night 23 years ago in Ellensburg, Camas High School coach Joe Hallead was playing in his own homecoming football game. In his wildest dreams, he never could have imagined the nightmare that would haunt him for the rest of his life.

In the fourth quarter of that game, Hallead’s teammate and friend Kevin Jewitt made a tackle and never got back up. It wasn’t until after Ellensburg lost the game in double overtime that Hallead and his teammates found out that Jewitt had died.
