OSG High: Georgia HS Player Dies During Scrimmage (UPDATED With Cause)
((HT: AJC.com/Holcomb, Lee, Stevens))
Creekside High (GA) Cornerback DeAntre Turman died last night during a scrimmage and is the first on-field death in three years in Georgia high school football.
He was hurt in a scrimmage last night and transported to a local hospital where he died. The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office has not released a cause of death at present and is scheduled to perform an autopsy within the next few days.
Turman had a scholarship offer from the University of Kentucky as a junior- according to 247Sports and former coaches.
The AJC got in touch with the Executive Director of the Georgia High School Association, Dr. Ralph Swearngin:
“Any kind of death of an adolescent, it’s a tragedy,” Swearngin said. “You think about the loss to the family and a young life being cut off whether it’s an athletic event or car accident or natural causes. As a father and grandfather, it strikes you personally.”
