Florida high school football player dies after collapsing during game

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) — A Florida Panhandle high school football player has died after collapsing during a game. Port St. Joe High School wide receiver Chance Gainer collapsed during Friday night’s game at Liberty County High School. Gulf County School Superintendent Jim Norton said the 18-year-old senior was rushed to the hospital. Norton said Gainer was an honors student and had recently visited Vanderbilt University to discuss attending there. Gainer had scored a 70-yard touchdown earlier in Friday’s game and had scored on an 83-yard kickoff return last week. The National Federation of State High School Associations said last week that six high school players had died within the past month.
