Tragedy
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (AP) -- An Ohio University-Chillicothe basketball player died after collapsing during practice.
Jonathan Davis, 20, a sophomore from Hampton, Va., fell to the floor Monday evening and was taken to Adena Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, school spokesman Jack Jeffery said.
The school was not aware that Davis had any health problems, he said. A message was left with the county coroner.
The school suspended men's and women's sports events and practices. Grief counselors were made available for teammates and classmates.
The school is about 45 miles south of Columbus and is a branch of Ohio University's main campus in Athens.
Memorial arrangements are pending.

What an Angel.
Reba Bolden Feb 12, 2008
We knew almost instantly that there was something special about this young man. His smile, his kindness, his easy goingness, and most of all, his love of Jesus. Hallelujah!
To know a young man with such gifts, such joy, such love of the Lord in today's world is a blessing. After witnessing the wonderful words spoken about him at his funeral, I know that his living was not in vain. How proud his parents, grandparents, little sister and others must be of him. He's done more good in his short 20 years than most people do in 50-60 years. Thank you Lord for allowing the members of Union Zion Baptist Church an opportunity to get to know Jonathan Mason-Davis.
May his family find peace in knowing that he was greatly loved and that God now has an even better plan for him. What an angel.
