Fort Scott Community College freshman infielder, Blake Shepard, of Ponca City, OK, was in a terrible car accident on Sunday, September 20th.  After a week of fighting, Blake passed away on Monday, September 28th.

The FSCC baseball team planned to host scrimmages against Independence and Neosho County at noon Sunday, October 4th at Dave Regan Stadium to raise funds for Shepard's medical expenses.  The scrimmages are still going to be held, with the blessing of his parents, to help with Blake's funeral and medical bills.

Admission to the scrimmage is a donation in any amount to help the Shepard family.  Hamburger and Hot Dog Meals will also be available with a donation. There will also be a silent auction of baseball memorabilia.

Shepard's funeral will be held at 2pm Saturday, October 3rd, at First Baptist Church in Ponca City, OK.
