A high school football player in Texas died Saturday after being injured during a game.

The Alto Texas Independent School District identified the player as Cam'ron Matthews, a junior at Alto High School. A vigil was held for him Saturday.

Matthews told his teammates he felt dizzy while in a huddle during a game Friday night, reported ABC affiliate KLTV in East Texas. A cause of death wasn't immediately released.

"When you have your own kids and you want them to emulate someone and follow in their footsteps, Cam'ron was a perfect example of that," Alto ISD Superintendent Kerry Birdwell told ABC affiliate KTRE-TV. "He was a great kid in the classroom, unbelievable athlete, but more importantly just a great, great kid."

Why is this in politics?

[Diane Amberg]

If it isn't political he'll figure out some way to make it so? His needle is stuck? He'll defend it somehow. Regardless, a very sad thing to happen to one so young.

Those of you who have followed Mr. Ross' posts over the years should realize he actually has only two topics he
deems political in nature:  ANYTHING  and EVERYTHING.  If we wanted to discuss whether toilet paper should roll from over the top vs. from underneath, he'd find a way to move it to his all-encompassing thread on politics.  Same with a discussion on sunflowers.  After all, the are the official Kansas state flower, so they must be a political topic. 
In actuality he most likely put it there because he just wanted to and doesn't feel he has to answer to any of us,
especially the liberal, socialist Elk Konnected Followers---you know, those who have ANY opinion different than his.

You got that right

Dan, Proelkco, you just as well give up trying to tell Ross anything. He think he knows everything and no one else knows anything. Nearly all of the good posters have stopped posting on the Forum. Maybe we can get someone else to Start a forum and we would not let Ross on it. I really miss the postings we had in the days before Ross invaded the Forum.

You are so brilliant! I can almost see the light come on! "He'll defend it somehow."
Defend what Diane. It is only common sense! Oh, I forgot you and the rest of the bunch are bleeding heart liberals and can find a way to knock anything. My apologizes.

Don't you mean 5 so young! And how many more are there that we don't know about?
Or is it those kids don't matter? Just shrug it off, right/ The liberal thing to do! Tolerance!

But you, yahoo's asked didn't ya!

It is a responsibility of the school board as the governing body duly elected to look out for the school and the children, isn't? And taxpayer dollars pay for all of it, right?

If the bunch of you don't comprehend you simply get ugly --- nice, very nice.

If you lived in Kansas and followed the news and had an idea of what is going on here you might understand. But Diane do you even follow what happening in Wilmington, Delaware the crime capital of the nation?

The fact that public schools are paid for by property owner taxpayer money and the people on the school board are voted on to govern the school is all it takes to make everything about public schools political.

Don't you reckon it was political to push Obama Common Core on to public schools?

And the football in public schools have been political for a very long time.
