So sad this is, some things just suck. Texas high school football player dies after suffering head injury – The Outkick
Dalhart High School (Texas) football player Yahir Cancino reportedly suffered a head injury during a junior varsity game against Sundown High School on Sept. 1. Cancino’s family announced two days later that he had passed away at the hospital.
Trainers and first responders were unsuccessful when trying to revive Cancino on the field after he lost consciousness in the fourth quarter. He was taken to a hospital in Lubbock about 80 miles away via helicopter.
Cancino’s mother, Araceli Hernandez, posted on Facebook early Saturday that her son died, asking “for prayers for peace and healing not only for us but for all the people Yahir touched in his life.” Cancino’s organs will be donated, the post said.
RIP
