This HS is right down the road from where I live and coincidently, I was driving right by it after picking up my stepson from another HS game where he had ROTC duties. I didn't what had happened until the next morning and find it sad, on several levels.

You would think there would be some way to test for some of these heart abnormalities easily. It seems like there are a lot more of these cases than there used to be. That, or they are just getting more coverage now.

It's a shame that this happened to someone who seemed like such a good kid too.
