Mich. high school player dies after winning shot

FENNVILLE, Mich. - A western Michigan high school basketball player collapsed on the court and later died after making the game-winning shot to cap his team's perfect season.

Holland Hospital spokeswoman Deb Patterson says 16-yer-old Fennville High School basketball player Wes Leonard died Thursday night. A cause of death has not yet been determined.

Patterson says paramedics performed CPR on Leonard before he was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The Holland Sentinel reported that Leonard had scored the game-winning layup in a 57-55 win over Bridgman in overtime to cap Fennville's 20-0 season. Leonard fell to the ground after teammates and fans rushed the court.

The newspaper says Leonard was also a quarterback for the high school football team.

Fennville is about 200 miles west of Detroit.

This is tragic. Guys, remember life is short, and can come to an end at any time, for any reason. This certainly gives one something to think about. R.I.P.
