Just last month Bullis School celebrated their star athlete Quincy Wilson’s historic achievement. Their student had etched his name in the record books, becoming the youngest U.S. male track and field athlete to win an Olympic medal. However, on Monday, September 2, even before the joy of Wilson’s achievement had faded, the Bullis community was shaken by a tragic loss.
Bullis Bulldogs’ football coach Ray Butler passed away unexpectedly at just 48. The shocking loss of the beloved coach shocked the entire community, especially the athletes who trained under him. The school’s head, Christian Sullivan, announced the tragic news the following day, and now the whole community, including Wilson’s mother is mourning their loss. “RIH (rest in heaven) Coach Ray,” Monique Wilson wrote while sharing the post on her Instagram story.
