The Yorktown athletic community joins the Wakefield and entire Arlington community in remembering and honoring Colton. We enjoyed competing against him on the field and befriending him off it. #onearlington.
The Wakefield Community mourns the loss of a true Warrior, Colton Poythress Class of 2018. Gone too soon. Colton stole my heart when I first met him, those blonde curls, his gorgeous smile, his never-ending polite and respectful demeanor. He will never be forgotten.
