An 18-year-old freshman suddenly suffered a life-threatening tear in his aorta on the basketball court, despite having no known history of heart problems.
Jackson Scarborough, a 6-foot-9 incoming freshman at Fresno City College, is recovering after collapsing during basketball activities nearly two weeks ago, prompting coaches and athletic staff to call for emergency medical help that his family says ultimately saved his life.
The towering teenager had just finished watching film with teammates and had not yet begun any physical activity when he started feeling intense chest pain, according to Fresno City College athletic trainer Francisco Gamboa.

Athletic physicals are a joke.............
Why?
That young feller has a lot of people to thank. Whoa...
What did JAMA, or sources like the Lancet, tell you about “covid” when everyone was panicking over it?
A more basic question is how do you discern which sources to trust and which not to trust?
Asymptomatic is not the same as healthy.
If you have an undetected heart condition, you’re not healthy.
Don’t miss the point. Heart problems under 40 were mostly unheard of prior to the vax. After the vax they’ve skyrocketed.
The one thing that was present prior to the vax was the cabal’s use of misinformation and deception to cover their crimes. These days they’re manipulating “studies” to hide the massive number of vaccine injuries.
You have a bias that will not be overcome by medical information. Your first assumption was this death was due to that bias. You are not open to medical information and refuse to reconsider your stance. Have a good day.
Because they aren’t physicals. They just ask some family health questions, take your blood pressure and listen to your heart for a few seconds, sign your form and you’re good to play..........
That was my first thought, but Hank Gathers was dead before his head hit the floor.
A few years ago, there was a college volleyball ref who had a similar “health” event who fell off the stand and was dead before he hit the floor.
“Your first assumption was this death was due to that bias.“
My bias didn’t cause his death. Death is caused by physical changes that n the body.
Your sloppy wording reflects sloppy thinking.
