"The Canastota Central School District family is devastated by the sudden and tragic death of junior Coby Stevens. Our deepest condolences go out to Coby's family in the face of what can only be described as an unimaginable loss. Coby was an integral part of our Raider family. He was a member of the football and wrestling teams and had been wrestling at the varsity level since the 7th grade. Coby loved to hunt and fish and was an avid outdoorsman. He always had a smile for his classmates and teachers and he will be remembered as a loyal friend and teammate. We will have crisis counselors available at the high school Friday for all students and staff. We ask that everyone keep the Stevens and Appler families in your thoughts and prayers."
