. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/4bhmwhd .Fennville, MI Fennville star basketball player Wes Leonard collapsed and died Thursday night after he helped his team complete a perfect regular season.
.The 16-year-old scored the game-winning basket in a 57-55 overtime win over Bridgman at Fennville High School that improved the Blackhawks record to 20-0.
.Leonard fell to the court moments after fans rushed the court following the dramatic victory for the sixth-ranked team in Class C. He was attended to on the court before an ambulance took him to Holland Hospital, where he died at 10:40 p.m, Holland Hospital spokesman Tim Breed said.
.All efforts were made after he arrived to help restart his heart, but unfortunately those efforts were not successful, Breed said. There likely will be an autopsy conducted to determine the actual cause of death.
. Clearly, we offer our condolences to Wes family and friends. .Moments before he collapsed, his teammates had given him a celebratory hoist into the air before a team huddle.
.Obviously, in the midst of celebration, I think shocking is exactly the word, Fennville Superintendent Dirk Weeldreyer said before Leonards ambulance left the high school. And certainly our deepest prayers are with Wes and his family, and obviously his health is far more important than any game.
