Nathan Stiles, Spring Hill football player who died during game, to be honored Thursday

Nathan Stiles‘ 18th birthday would have been Tuesday. Instead of a milestone birthday, Stiles’ family and friends likely mourned him one more time. They’ll get another chance on Thursday night, when Spring Hill High School honors his life.

Stiles died after suffering an injury during a football after he reportedly intercepted a pass and took a hit. Stiles came out of the game, told an assistant coach that “my head is really hurting” and then collapsed. He was airlifted to the University of

Kansas Medical Center where he died on Friday.
