About 200 people packed a church Saturday for a memorial service for Ashari Hughes, a Desert Oasis sophomore who died of a sudden cardiac arrest Jan. 5.
The 16-year-old died last week after collapsing following her team’s game against Valley High School.
Family and community members gathered at Doolittle Community Center to remember Ashari Hughes, who collapsed and died after playing a flag football game Thursday.
“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!”
