JoeQuan Richardson Prior to coming to the Conway, Ark. school, Richardson was a member of the wrestling team at Northwood High School in Shreveport, La.
Central Baptist College issued the following statement:
"We offer our deepest sympathy to JoeQuan's family and friends and ask that you remember them in prayer."
Richardson's teammates were devastated by the loss of their teammate and friend.
"As a wrestler, he was an Energizer bunny. He goes and he goes. He had a gas tank like there no tomorrow," fellow CBC wrestler Francisco Joseph told KARK-TV.
"I didn't see it coming. Physically the guy was in better shape than anyone on the team," said Tyree Avery.
Head Coach Ken Prophete described JoeQuan Richardson as a hard worker who never quit.
"If I told him to run through a wall and that you would be a national champion he would do. He was one of those people you wish you had ten of in your program," said Prophete.
Funeral arrangements are still pending. However, on Thursday, Sept. 6, the CBC Mustang wrestling team will hold a balloon release and memorial service for JoeQuan Richardson at 4 p.m. at the school's wrestling facility. Students, faculty and staff along with people in the community are welcome to attend.
