What if I told you the scene of @HamlinIsland collapsing has happened on high school fields across America again and again, but unlike in Damar's case, there was no emergency response or equipment to save an athlete's life?

A save in Plymouth, Indiana💛

An official collapsed during the first quarter of a girl's basketball game on Oct. 9.

Plymouth athletic trainer Gary Hall, three nurses and a paramedic all responded. An AED was used within one minute. #SaferSidelines
