“This time of year, it’s a well-known game among teachers and students. It’s called Senior Wars,” Maynor, 22, said of a game called “Tree Roll,” which involves toilet paper.

As Hughes approached the street, he either tripped or lost his balance and fell to the street, where one of the cars struck him.

The five students who stopped to help Hughes now face criminal charges for their roles in the deadly prank. However, Hughes’ wife has started a petition calling for the charges to be dismissed, Realize that what happened was an unfortunate accident.

“This was not a malicious act,” Meno said, adding that he had contacted Laura Hughes — Jason’s wife, also a high school teacher — offered her condolences. “This was just a tragic accident.”

Meno was on Snapchat when he heard the news and was in disbelief when he checked the news reports.

“We just talked a few weeks ago,” Maynor explained. “We’re catching up on some things, his life, my life. He’s doing great. I went to a football game in December and saw him. He was on the field. We had a cordial conversation. We stay in touch.”

Maynor added: “I’ve never seen him angry. He’s always been a great guy.”

Last fall, Meno was in a serious relationship and determined to propose. But when he went hunting in another state, the woman ended up breaking his heart. A distraught Maynor knew who he could turn to for help: Coach Hughes.

“I cried my eyes out and didn’t expect to make it through (the rest of the trip),” he said. “I was frustrated. He was busy doing something but still stayed on the phone with me for an hour and a half just talking to me even though he was busy and helping me through it all. He was a very Christian man and he was a good servant of the Lord. He told me, ‘The Lord can help you – you just have to start praying.'”

He even recalled a group message Hughes sent to a group of students he worked with, saying he was available to help if they needed him.
