DeMarcus Cousins Paying Funeral of Slain High School Football Player

Everyone knows that Coach Cal prides himself on his players being role models to the community, but DeMarcus Cousins just raised the bar pretty high.

Sacramento Kings forward DeMarcus Cousins is trying to help the family of a slain high school football player by paying for the funeral, according to a Sacramento city official.

City council member Rick Jennings on Saturday confirmed to multiple media outlets that Cousins, who wanted his gesture to remain anonymous, wanted to take care of the funeral expenses for Jaulon Clavo, a Grant Union High School senior who was reportedly shot in the neck while driving with four other players.
