New Orleans girl dies in HS game

I just saw this article on the Shreveport Times website. Sorry if someone has already posted this, but I was shocked to read it.

Shannon Veal was a junior at Glen Oaks and had received letters from 75 schools (we were not one of them, which makes me wonder...but that's beside the point) and died on the court during a game last night. I can't imagine what it must have been like for her parents to watch this.

I certainly wish this family the best.

Man, that is horrible. What a sad thing..... My prayers and thoughts are with her family.

Thanks for the correction. The article mentioned N.O. and I assumed she was there. Sorry for the mixup.
