The C. Milton Wright girls soccer team has canceled its upcoming game against Fallston, athletic director Kaitlyn Larrimore told The Aegis on Tuesday, and will resume its season next week.

Wednesday’s game would have been the team’s first time returning to the field since Blake Elliott, a junior and standout on the team, died Thursday in a fatal car crash that also critically injured a member of the school’s boys soccer team. The girls team’s next scheduled games are Monday at Havre de Grace and Tuesday at home against Harford Tech. Larrimore added those games will be played as scheduled.

C. Milton Wright held a vigil for Elliott on Friday and canceled all after school activities that evening. There, Elliott’s father, Rob, said “I want to thank you on behalf of my family, because you guys have showed up big. Make no mistake about it, we’re devastated, but you guys help … put us back together.”

The 16-year-old was named The Aegis’ girls soccer Player of the Week for Sept. 5 through 14, scoring six goals through the team’s first five games. Teammates also attended Friday’s vigil, and one wrote “So happy you assisted my first varsity goal this season. I was so excited for more” on a large banner that read “BE#3” and was filled with more messages from community members.

Other C. Milton Wright varsity teams returned to the field this week. The football team played Monday after its contest was rescheduled from Friday and defeated Joppatowne, 49-8. The boys soccer team also played Monday in a 2-1 victory over Bel Air for the first time since the crash that also injured Zach Griffin, a senior who helped lead the boys team to a state championship last season.

Police did not confirm the names of the teens because they are juveniles, but community members identified Elliott and Griffin last week. A GoFundMe page for Griffin said Monday the 17-year-old was in “stable but critical condition.” It has raised more than $88,000 as of Tuesday afternoon.

Thursday’s crash near C. Milton Wright High School on Maryland Route 543 in Bel Air involved two cars and a Harford County school bus. A separate GoFundMe page for Elliott’s family has raised more than $126,000.
