Naphtali "Neff" Moimoi, an 18-year-old Hayward High School defensive lineman, was boogie boarding at Poplar Beach with members of his football team Thursday, the outlet reported. A rip current pulled Moimoi out after he fell off his board and his teammates attempted to create a human chain to grab him. They were unable to reach him.On Friday, more than 100 people attended a vigil at Hayward, according to ABC7.
"He always pushed me on and off the field, with school and my grades. He was always working. He was just preaching to me how important it was to grades and you gotta stay focused," Moimoi's childhood friend Russell Winston III told ABC7. Moimoi had been a starter on the defensive line since freshman year, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMORE
