CLARKSVILLE, TN -- A 14 year old boy accused of murdering his high school math teacher in Danvers, Massachusetts has ties to Clarksville. Philip Chism recently moved to Massachusetts after living in Clarksville for much of his life. Last year he attended Rossview Middle School and he starred on his Montgomery County Soccer Association soccer team. People in Clarksville say he was a quiet, smart and athletic teenager. Great soccer player. Probably the main reason we won the league championship last year, says former coach Jandro Herrera. Herrera coached Chism over the last two seasons. He remembers the polite 14 year old, whom other kids looked up to. I'm sure any of his teammates would say the same thing, that he was just the nicest kid on the team, probably, says Herrera. It's a description that's hard to match with the crime at Danvers High School in Massachusetts. Chism is accused of murdering math teach Colleen Ritzer and dumping her body in a wooded area near the school. Coach Herrera was on the internet when he saw the name Chism connected to a murder. He read a little further and saw Philip's picture. Once I heard about it, it was just complete shock because it's completely out of character. It's not something that I would ever imagine Philip ever doing anything like that, says Herrera. Philip Chism lived in a Clarksville apartment. We're told his father was in the military. Another former coach, Mark Nolan, says Philip was a relatively quiet kid who never caused any trouble. Jandro Herrera says the crime has left him speechless. Always the most respectful kid that I've ever had around...yes sir, no sir, says Herrera. Chism completed middle school at Rossview in the spring and moved to Massachusetts over the summer. He is now charged as an adult and being held without bond. His former soccer coach keeps wondering what happened. I want to see what else there is. I want the whole story to come out before people really cast a lot of judgment on the kid, says Herrera. Court documents indicate that police charged Philip Chism after interviewing him and viewing surveillance video from inside the high school. It's still not clear how the alleged murder was committed. Philip Chism's parents are Stacy and Diana Chism, both of whom also moved from Clarksville to Massachusetts.
