A Texas community is mourning the loss of 15-year-old Preston Malone, a sophomore at Lancaster Early College High School, who died after a medical emergency during football practice. On August 18, Malone began feeling unwell during junior varsity practice and told a coach. “The coach immediately noticed that Malone was not sweating,” district spokesperson Kimberly Simpson said. Staff quickly called 911 and placed him in a cold tub before paramedics rushed him to the hospital.
