Mesquite High School assistant basketball coach, Michael Taylor, or better known as Coach Mike, was killed in a car accident on Interstate 10 near Dysart early Monday morning. “Just shocking and realization that nothing lasts forever. He was a good friend, and now he's gone. It was hard,” said Jake Hammond, a freshman student Taylor coached.
