Football, family and tragedy at LBCC * Long Beach Post Sports
The best of families are about constancy and endurance, especially during tough times, and the Long Beach City College football family has endured a particularly tough time, recently. Over the last two years, four players or recent alums of the program have passed away. In 2017, Tim Johnson died after a car crash.
