Sophomore Ashari Hughes, 16, of Las Vegas, died on Jan. 5 after collapsing during a Desert Oasis flag football game against Valley.
“She loved music, dancing, and being around all the people she loved,” Ashari’s parents wrote in a statement. “She called football the real love of her life!”
The Desert Oasis High School student collapsed Thursday after a home game against Valley High School. She was hospitalized and died later that night.
