Basketball Tragedy

Veal had just finished shooting two free throws when she collapsed late in the first quarter. The game was postponed from that time, with GOHS leading 35-17. The cause of death was determined as cardiomyopathy, or an enlarged heart. GOHS pressed on, winning the resumed game 64-40 on the next night.
