Colored Bogan High School Football Player Andre Smith, 17 of Country Club Hills, drops dead after being sacked on the field - WHY IS A STUDENT FROM Country Club Hills ATTENDING A CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL????

Jackie Robinson West, a Little League team from Chicago that won the United States Championship this past summer, had its title stripped for HAVING PLAYERS ON ITS TEAM FROM OUTSIDE THEIR DISTRICT.... Looks like Bogan H.S. football team may be violating the same type of rule.... 

A Bogan football player died Friday morning after being injured in a game at Stagg Stadium on Thursday evening.

Andre Smith, 17 of Country Club Hills, was injured in the final play of Bogan’s game against Vocational. He died at Christ Hospital at 6:10 am Friday, according to the medical examiner’s office.

Smith is the seventh high school football player in the country to die from game-related injuries this season.

“It was a kick return play,” Stagg Stadium announcer Jimmy Smith said. “(Smith) was running and a guy blocked him, hit him pretty good and that was it. He went down and he got back up and walked backed to the visitor’s side of the field.”


Garret Weston, the paramedic that first treated Smith, said he wasn’t sure what play Smith was injured on.

“I didn’t notice anyone come out of the game or anything like that,” Weston said. “I was on the home side of the field (Bogan was on the visiting side).

Weston said he was called over just as he was starting to walk out of the stadium.
