The El Paso Independent School District confirmed a 16-year-old Bowie High School band member suffered a medical emergency during a football game between Bowie High School and Ysleta High School on Friday.

Officials with University Medical Center on Monday morning confirmed he passed away.

The district said in a statement the student was treated at the scene before being taken to a local hospital.

Armando Adame and Liana Armijo are athletic trainers with Ysleta ISD and were two of the people that provided aid to the student. They described it as a chaotic situation but also a miracle that he responded to their aid.
Armijo, who has been an athletic trainer with Ysleta ISD for 20 years, said Friday night’s incident was shocking, as she never had to give CPR to a student athlete in all of her years as trainer.

“I’m not going to lie to you, it was scary, it was chaotic, it was heartbreaking," Armijo said.

Armijo said she was able to step in and provide CPR compressions, along with the Bowie athletic trainers, coaches and administrators.

Adame described the moments leading up to the incident.

“When I see that I just go like, 'Hey, let’s go, let’s go,' and we run maybe about 40 yards from our position where the young boy was at and I kid you not, I was proud of her because she launched herself ready to give breath,” said Adame.

While the cause of the students' emergency is unknown, Armijo said she believes the summer heat played a huge factor.
