The man dubbed the “Spirit of Loudon High School” Bruce Lawson died leaving
Loudon High School students and graduates in mourning. Lawson was a graduate of
the school and lived most of his life in Loudon and had a streak of 417
consecutive Loudon football games that he attended and kept stats for. When the
streak was snapped because of surgery, Lawson began a new one, and was up to 90
games at the time of his death.
