KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A high school football player who died during a game in Knoxville was untouched on the play before he collapsed on the field.

Eighteen-year-old Jack Logue, a senior at Sullivan South High School, was unresponsive after the third-quarter play Friday evening play, and was later pronounced dead at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. The game was called off.
