The HQ thinks that this is the fifth death during the early parts of pre-season practice this high school football season...
This time, it's in Arkansas...
Gurdon ((AR)) High School sophomore Montel Williams collapsed at football practice and later died. Head football coach John Pace says Williams fell to one knee after a series of wind sprints during practice Tuesday night.
Preliminary autopsy results should be available tomorrow. Investigators are keeping an open mind and are looking into whether heat exhaustion or an undiagnosed medical condition could have played a role in Williams death.
Coach John Pace says the team will dedicate its season to Williams and try to get through this tragedy together. "They're all in shock, kind of like we all are." Pace says, "Only time will help that."
Gurdon students go back to school on Monday, and grief counselors will be made available to Williams's friends and fellow students...
