Students from both campuses gathered on the high school’s football field to remember Drew Medford. The 2016 high school graduate was killed in a car crash early Thursday morning on the Chisholm Trail Parkway, less than a week before he was due to start classes at TCU.
“When I heard the news, your heart sinks because you spend so much time with him, and you start to think he’s your own son.
