Official collapses; Game called off
Anyone hear about this? Just read it online. Longwood U. is serviced by CAA officials so there is a good possibility the official is from my neck of the woods.

Norfolk State’s match at Longwood was canceled until further notice after an official collapsed on the court during the game and had to be taken to the hospital.
Norfolk State led 4-3 with 17:30 left in the half when play was stopped after the official fell to the floor on the Spartans’ offensive side of the court. The teams were sent to their locker rooms and medical personnel on hand performed CPR and used an on-site defibrillator.
The Prince Edward Rescue Squad continued CPR as the official, whose name and condition are being withheld at this time, was taken to Centra Southside Community Hospital in Farmville at approximately 2:20 p.m. The official was airlifted to the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond near 4 p.m., according to a Centra Southside Community Hospital spokesperson.
The game will be made up at a later date if possible.
