The player reportedly told teammates he was dizzy during a huddle. “When you have your own kids and you want them to emulate someone and follow in their footsteps, Cam’ron was a flawless example of that”, mourner Kerri Birdwell told KLTV. “He was a great kid in the classroom, unbelievable athlete, but more importantly just a great, great kid”.
“I am very sorry to say that Cam’Ron Matthews has stopped his fight this evening”, Walters said online.
There have now been six high school football players that have died this year.
