High School Basketball Star Dies on Court

At a Michigan High School, the happiness of clinching a perfect season came at a very big price. 16-year-old Wes Leonard died on the court after hitting the game winning layup in overtime to clinch a perfect season. He was able to hit the shot, celebrate with his teammates, shake the others teams hands, and then get carried by his teammates on the court, being the hometown hero for te night, then suddenly collapsed walking off the court. The medics there tried to help, but couldn't do anything, dying in the hopsital later that night. The cause is unknown, and hopefully the team can overcome this obstacle and keep their season going, with Wes in mind all they way.
