High School Football Player Dies from Aneurysm
Here is an excerpt from the Troy Messenger (http://www.troymessenger.com/2014/09/28/chhs-football-player-dies-after-collapsing-on-field/)
"Harris, who was a senior cornerback, collapsed on the
field and was taken to Troy Regional Medical Center
before being transported to Southeast Alabama Medical
Center in Dothan, where he was pronounced dead on
Sunday, according to a hospital spokesperson.
Demario Harris, the CHHS football player who
collapsed during a game on Friday, has died. He was 17.
Harris, known as “Squirrel” to his classmates and
friends, played with Charles Henderson’s state
runner-up football team in 2013 and had
eight interceptions during his junior year and broke up
10 passes, forced three fumbles and made 75 tackles. He
has received scholarship offers to play football from
both Jacksonville State and Murray State. Dr. Lee Hicks,
superintendent of the Troy City Schools, has described
Harris as “a perfect gentleman,” adding that he was an
outstanding athlete and student. “We appreciate the
prayers and support for the family and for the whole
CHHS and Troy City Schools family. The community has
been very supportive, and we appreciate that.”
Homecoming activities planned for this week have been
postponed.
Funeral arrangements have not been released."
