A Florida Panhandle high school football player has died after collapsing during a game on Friday night at Liberty County High School in Bristol.

Port St. Joe High School wide receiver and defensive back Chance Gainer collapsed during the game at Liberty County High School.

The 18-year-old senior was playing cornerback when a play went to the opposite side of the field, said Tim Davis, Port St. Joe's athletic director and vice principal.

Gainer was running toward the play when he collapsed, Davis told the Northwest Florida Daily News.

'He just went to the ground suddenly,' Davis said. Coaches ran to his side and then signaled for paramedics but they were unable to save his life.

He was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where he died.
