[Old School Hound]

Since first posting this I became aware that the young boy who passed away played basketball and soccer in a sports league run by one of the churches here in town. The league is going to retire his two jersey numbers(soccer and basketball). They will be framed and displayed in the gym at the church where Eli played.

As we think about and remember this sweet little boy, I wonder how often a tragic occurrence like this with a basketball goal takes place? Has anyone ever heard of it happening? I don't know whether it was a regular sized goal or one of the smaller ones. I know some of the structures can move around. I can see where they could tip over. However, it sounds like in this case, the goal structure itself collapsed and fell on top of the child.
