Geez, this is horrible.
17-year old Andre Maloney, a star wide receiver at Shawnee Mission High School in Kansas died early Friday morning after suffering a stroke on the field during a game Thursday night.
According to reports, Maloney became disoriented on the sideline during the game and was taken by ambulance to the Overland Park (Kansas) hospital. Doctors found a blood clot on his brain, but weren't able to remove it.
Maloney had committed to play college football at Kansas in 2014.

Doctors don't appear to have an explanation how a 17-year old can have a stroke like this, they say it's much more common in older adults.
Let's hope that it was just a horrible accident, a freak incident. It just makes you wonder with the head damage suffered by football players, if this was something caused by a hit during a game, with his helmet on.
Certainly, we hope not and extend sympathies to the Maloney's and the Shawnee Mission family.
