Tomorrow the sun will be up and we WILL have great day!"Logan's friends and even people from other high schools posted messages on the "Stay Strong Coppell" Facebook page. Some noted that Logan, who wore No. 21 on the football team, was discovered at 21:21 military time."Though here for such a short amount of time, Jacob has made a Powerful Impact on all," Martha Peters wrote. "He and his family will never be forgotten."Staff writer Bill Miller contributed to this report. Alex Branch, 817-390-7689Twitter: @albranch1
