South Pointe volleyball player killed in Rock Hill crash remembered

Athletic teams at South Pointe High School hosted a tribute Monday evening for a volleyball player killed Friday in a car wreck.

Chaella Woodson, 16, was killed in the three-vehicle crash on Heckle Boulevard, where other students also were injured, officials said.

The South Pointe football team played at York Comprehensive High School Monday night, in a game that had been postponed from Friday by weather.

Football and school officials honored Woodson at the game in York. York School officials worked with South Pointe athletic leaders to coordinate the tribute.

Students who purchased a $7 ticket received a spirit shirt in Woodson’s honor to wear at the game, according to South Pointe’s school Web site and a Twitter message from South Pointe.

Woodson was a member of the South Pointe varsity volleyball team. Her teammates also planned to honor her as part of Tuesday’s playoff game at Eastside High School in Greenville.
