Tragedy in Michigan

"On Thursday, Leonard sent the ball through the hoop from close range with less than 30 seconds left in overtime. The shot gave Fennville a 57-55 victory over Bridgman High and a 20-0 regular season.

After the teams exchanged handshakes, Fennville players scrambled together for a team photo to commemorate their undefeated record. That's when the 6-foot-2, 215-pound Leonard collapsed.

Leonard was rushed to nearby Holland Hospital, where paramedics performed CPR before he was declared dead. An autopsy conducted Friday by the Ottawa County medical examiner showed Leonard died of cardiac arrest because of an enlarged heart."

Wow. The issues with enlarged hearts are becoming more frequent.

Thoughts and prayers for his family, friends and school.

That turned my stomach when I read that.
From the heights of elation to the depths of despair in minutes.

Kind of puts things in perspective.
