In yet another tragic turn of events in a season full of them across the nation, a young football player near Richmond, Virginia collapsed during an afternoon practice on Tuesday and was pronounced dead at a hospital hours later.
There was no immediate indication about what led to the 15 year old Jacob Vick's sudden collapse. The Daily Press reported that the New Kent team had already completed all individual drills on Tuesday when Vick collapsed during a team session.
The team's coach, Dan Rounds, said that Vick sat out the team's two most recent games following a concussion
earlier this season. The teenager was cleared to play in Friday's New
Kent game against Lafayette High (Williamsburg, Va.) but the family and
coach decided against having him participate.
