Desert Oasis High School principal Ian Salzman wrote in a letter to parents that Hughes “suffered a medical emergency during an athletic event” and was provided medical aid from staff until paramedics arrived, Fox 5 reported.
“It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that the student passed away. The school and the entire district mourn the loss of this young life,” Salzman wrote.
According to her family, Hughes was experiencing chest problems during the game and went to the sideline before she collapsed, Fox 5 reported.
Hughes’ family had reportedly considered pulling her from sports as she had been experiencing ongoing cardiovascular problems. A doctor had cleared her to play in athletic competition, the family noted.
The Clark County Coroner’s Office has not yet released the cause of Hughes’ death.
A GoFundMe page was organized by Hughes’ family for funeral costs and had already raised over $2,000 two hours after it was posted Friday afternoon. As of Saturday afternoon, the fundraiser has surpassed $24,000 of its $50,000 goal.
“She called football the real love of her life! She loved hard and was loved by many,” the family wrote. “She will be missed by all of us.”
The 16-year-old’s death was three days after Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest and collapsed in the middle of a Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Hamlin has since had his breathing tube taken out and is talking with teammates and family, the team announced Friday.

Another one? That’s like 5 or 6 playing flag football since Friday. 🤔
God forbid it happens..... however, if it does happen again in the nfl I wouldn’t be surprised......and if it does, its gonna be hard to explain.
I hear this is really common now, I suspect it is just the beginning though...
Let’s join hands and hope it doesn’t occur to anyone to check the poor girl for myocarditis.
That might cause vaccine hesitancy.
Well, after about 156,000 of these incidents, Joe Biden will probably address it and say something is going on.
LOL.
Yes, flag football has gotten a lot rougher than we remember it.
“Was She vaccinated? If so, when was the last vax?”
“Don’t know”
“iT wAs ThE jAb”
“Biden will say something is going on”
Are you kidding!? He would blame it on the unvaxxed, the anti-vaxxers, Trump, right-wing fascists, etc. Haven’t you heard? “We are all in this together”
This has always been going on. Why is it such a big deal now? /s
Yep, 16 yr olds dropping dead on the football field, totally totally normal right Fauci..right
I want Fauci’s head on a stake.
COVID shots are the number one cause of coincidences.
Are autopsies prohibited? Seems like nothing is EVER reported about these “sudden, unexpected” deaths.
No autopsies, but the morticians are documenting how they cannot get embalming fluid through the veins.
So there’s that.
LMAO!
Just the beginning. Damar Hamlin is still in critical condition but appears to be “neurologically intact,” the Buffalo Bills said in a statement Thursday, three days after the 24-year-old player collapsed during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Doctors remain baffled over the recent deaths of young athletes.
Long nap off the grid, RIP?
Damar Hamlin Thanks Fans on Social Media for Support Following Collapse on Field: “The Love Has Been Overwhelming”"When you put real love out into the world it comes back to you 3x’s as much,” Hamlin wrote in the caption with a photo of him wearing his No. 3 jersey.
“The Love has been overwhelming, but I’m thankful for every single person that prayed for me and reached out. We brung the world back together behind this. If you know me you know this only gone make me stronger. On a long road keep praying for me!”
Hells bells, he's functioning better than you are...
