OT - RIP Wes Leonard
Just read this story about 16 year old Wes Leonard of Fennville High School (Western Michigan) who died after making the game winning shot to cap a perfect season for his high school basketball team.
Really tragic but he will never be forgotten. RIP
Live just minutes from his high school. Very somber day here in West Michigan. Great Athlete. RIP, Wes.
I am very sorry for this kid and his family, but there is a similar thread below, but the title doesn't fit well.
It's a ridiculously sad story. You can probably put aside board politics for a second.
I made a simple comment about the below thread, there was already a duplicate put up this morning and then removed and I get faux negged? I wasn't being harsh to the OP in any way.
crazy story, i worked with a lot of kids that were there and very close to this kid. Pretty unfortunate story.
Truly a sad story. Is there any indication yet as to what the cause of death was?
nothing has been released, they will be doing an autopsy from what i heard locally
Edit: It has now been determined he died because of an enlarged heart
It's being reported that the cause of death had to do with an enlarged heart.

The time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.
Today, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.
