Leonard, a junior who also excelled as the quarterback of the Blackhawks football team, was "by far the best player on that basketball team -- outstanding athlete," said coach Mike Miller, whose Bridgman team lost 57-55 in overtime to Fennville Thursday night.

Saw this in the morning. Sad. But if he loved ball probably not a bad way to go and I am not making a joke. Just saying if he is gonna die that young, he could of been at home, playing pickup ball or screwing some skank cheerleader. He passed after hitting the game winner he gave his team his last breath for an undefeated season ...true warrior.

Really sad though and wished it did NOT happen ... plus that has to be traumatic not only for his family, but his team, his friends and fellow students.

actually, thats probably the best way to go at that age. most kids i know who died did so in car wrecks or overdose.

at least he went out on top.

So sad for this to happen. On a lighter side it sounded like he passed without any pain, and he died doing something he loved. Thoughts and prayrers go out to his friends and family. RIP

[Viva Las Espuelas]

[DMX7]

Born in 1994. I'm pretty young, but that's really really young. Very sad.

[Technique]

First thing I thought of when I read this was "this will make a good movie"

STFU dude, someone dies and your in the realm of joking or making some sort of joke?

C'mon show class.

[TE]

Condolences to his family and friends.

Very unfortunate........

[The Reckoning]

the "at least he died in a cool way, i dont feel sorry for him!" shtick is gay as fuck homeboy


honestly....

would you rather die riddled with bullets on the streets of oak cliff...

or hit the game winner for your high school and be featured on espn?


take your pick, tonto.

btw, little factoid. the badass player on the opposing team in Coach Carter is Tyson Chandler in real life.

[BoricuaCJA]

Truly awful that he passed away after hitting that shot. My prayers go to their family.
