Star athlete dies after hitting game winning shot
  A high school boy from Michigan died after hitting a game winning shot to end a 20-0 season. The team had just completed a perfect season when they saw their start player collapse. Ambulance came in and brought a defibrillator. They couldn't save him on the spot so they took him back to the hospital. This still couldn't help him because when he got to the hospital. They doctors just couldn't get the boys heart to beat. The boy died later that day.
Teammates hoist Wes Leonard up after he hit the game-winning basket Thursday night as the Fennville Blackhawks celebrate their victory against the Bridgman Bees, bringing their record to 20-0. Leonard collapsed on the court shortly afterward and died hours later at Holland Hospital.
  This is a mystery to everyone, even the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with the boy. There is nothing that could have caused the death, he just collapsed. This is a shock to everyone. The student was  a great athlete in basketball in football. He led both of the teams to a championship and had an all state honorable mention. You never hear of this happening a lot to anyone his age, especially all state athletes. There was nothing that the doctors could find that could be wrong with him, but he still collapsed and died. This rarely happens and that probably won't change, but its just so surprising that it could happen.
