KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – Funeral arrangements for the East Tennessee high school football player who collapsed during a game Friday night and later passed away have been confirmed.

A celebration of Jake Logue’s life will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 26 at Sullivan South High School. Eulogies will be given by members of the Sullivan South football coaching staff and music will be provided by the Colonial Heights Presbyterian Church where Logue was a member.
