Has everyone already heard about the young boy that was trying out for Western Hills Basketball Team having a heart attack and dying during practice today? My thoughts go out to his family, team and schoolmates, and friends!!!

Yes, tragic. Thoughts and prayers for this young man and his family. Thoughts and Prayers to coach Welch and the WHHS family as well.

Any other information on this? I would like to add a prayer request on my website.

Channel 18 in Lexington reports that he was 15 and was running sprints when he collapsed. His older brother was also attending the tryout. He had passed a physical exam last week. His name was Waseeq Shahid. Prayers for his family and friends.

Don't jump to the conclusion that it was a heart attack. Time will tell.

This is very sad.

 

My prayers are for his family, coaches, teammates, teachers and friends.

I'll all but guarantee it was a heart attack. The source is yet to be named (which is where you're going here I assume).

 

Fastbreak can attest the wrenching feeling something like this has on a team and community. Prayers go out to this family.

If anyone has an address to send donations for expenses, please post it.

My prayers go out to the WHHS basketball family, Coach Welch and his family.

Prayers to his family, you don't think this type of thing would happen to a youngster, once it does, you just have to shake your head.
