Game Will Go On Without High School Star

DETROIT (WWJ) - A high school in western Michigan says it will participate in a playoff game Monday, four days after its star basketball player hit a winning shot and then collapsed and died from a heart ailment.

Spokeswoman Holly McCaw says the decision was made Saturday after officials talked to the family of 16-year-old Wes Leonard.

The undefeated Fennville High team also held a practice.

Leonard made a basket Thursday to give the Blackhawks a victory over Bridgman High. He died after the game because of an enlarged heart.
