Honoring Gordon


The Nichols family – Randy, Melissa and Walton – provided the afternoon meal for the Escambia County High School football team Friday at the school. They honored Gordon, son and brother, who wore #63 and was a 2009 ECHS graduate. Gordon passed away in 2019 in an automobile accident. “Play for yourself, play for each other. We love y’all,” Walton told the team. Shown distributing plates to the team are, from left, Coach Vincent Harris, Walton Nichols Thompson, Melissa Nichols, and Coach Raymond Robinson. Randy could not attend due to a previous commitment.
