NATCHITOCHES, La. — Northwestern State has canceled the remainder of its football season, citing the need to attend to the mental health of its players in the wake of the fatal shooting of safety Ronnie Caldwell.
“Ronnie was a beloved member of our community, and we miss him dearly,” university President Marcus Jones said. “While our instinct was to return to the field of play following his death, we’ve since learned that the hurt on our team was too deep. Now it is in the best interest of our players, coaches, and staff to pause and to take this time to mourn, to heal, and to support Ronnie’s family.”
