ARK CITY, Kan. (KWCH) - The town of Arkansas City (Ark City) came together Friday night to remember Rhett Lathers. The 17-year-old student athlete was a senior at Ark City High School. Lathers was a starter for Ark City High School’s football team, which had been scheduled to play at McPherson Friday night in the opening round of the Class 4A playoffs. Ark City chose to forfeit Friday night’s game, ending its season. It was a move both teams scheduled for the anticipated rematch felt was appropriate with Ark City facing circumstances much bigger than the game of football.
