This is what I was able to get. Hard for me to get news of a Silsbee happening way out in Orange but just wanted our readers to know of this sad event.

Orange Leader Sports

Silsbee’s Donovan Harris, a state champion in the 110-meter hurdles, was listed in critical condition Thursday after a fatal car accident Wednesday on Business 96 near Silsbee.

Harris’ Toyota Camry was traveling south on 96 when a Ford Expedition traveling north jumped lanes and struck Harris’ vehicle head-on at about 4:40 p.m. Wednesday.

Harris, a receiver for the Tigers, was taken to Christus St. Elizabeth before being moved to Galveston for head trauma a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety said Thursday.

After striking Harris’ Camry, the Expedition then rolled on its right side and was struck on the roof by a Chevy Silverado.

A 1-year-old child in the Expedition was pronounced dead at the hospital following the accident.

Reports came in late Thursday evening Harris was moved from ICU to the children’s hospital and was alert and eating.

when i spoke with the nurse,she said the phone had being ringing off the hook from concerned friends,fans,community, and such. can you say standing ovation when he catches a ball???

Consider it done patitan. I say even if he is only to stand along the sidelines this year, standing O is warrented. Making that first catch would just be icing on the cake.

It would be great if he played in the scrimmage against us truly a great athlete.. In 7 on 7 he was a great player.. The tigers will surely make a run in the playoffs with him at WR but let time take its course and the injurys heal.. I dont like to see anyone go out in their senior year so some of the team in Lumberton is praying for him..

Donovan is improving in Galveston.  Xavier had successful surgery last night and was intially scheduled for release Saturday.  That has yet to be determined.  Their grandmother is improving as well.  I am most concerned now with the other student who was a passenger in the Expedition.

Great news on Donovan.

Unfortunately, the other Silsbee student, Miguel Anaya, did not make it.  He would have been a freshmen at Silsbee High School.  Please keep the Harris and Anaya families in your prayers.

update: This information is not accurate.

Channel 4 had reported that he had passed away but Miguel is still in the hospital and is very serious.

Kelly when did you get confirmation of this?  I have been getting multiple calls since yesterday stating yes and no from officers to people involved.  I hope this is not the case.  He's a great kid.

    • What were the issues at Rusk?  SB, Admin, Culture, Pay?  Inquiring minds would like to know.
    • This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up From the article: “As a parent, then as a homeowner, if you have some equity in your home, then you can say to your child, you know, ‘don’t take out the loan,’” she said. “‘I’ll take out some of the equity to help you pay for tuition so that you don’t graduate with extraordinary student loan debt, and so that when you graduate, you can do your dream job.’” Essentially, Harris suggested that parents give their kids a leg up in the world by being the ones to take out a loan instead. Except theirs would have much higher stakes than just needing to be paid back — it could mean losing their home. 🤦‍♂️
    • Good luck and safe travels. Bring it home.
    • It has been frustrating seeing the lack of coverage from virtually EVERY media outlet.  We (Chester) are in the SE Texas coverage area.  There are no radio broadcast from our area, and Ch 12 is the only one that has even mentioned it.   I know I could have gotten donations to cover a SETX Sports broadcast.  Oh well, water under the bridge - we aren’t as big as Silsbee, WO-S or PN-G.
