Search Called Off

The United States Coast Guard has officially called off their three day search for three missing boaters, including two NFL players. The search began early Sunday morning when the missing boaters did not return from their trip in Tampa, Florida. One of the four missing men, Former USF football player Nick Schuyler, was found Monday afternoon adrift on a small overturned fishing boat. He claimed that the four men had been together when their boat had been overturned. They eventually became seperated by the sea. As of sundown Tuesday night, the search for the missing boaters will officially be called off. Still missing is Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper, NFL free agent Corey Smith and former University of South Florida football player William Bleakley. As reported by The United States Coast Guard, 200 ships have capsized within the last two months. Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of those affected by this tragedy.
