BAY CITY, Texas -- A 17-year-old student collapsed and died while playing basketball at his high school.

Chris McAffee of Bay City was running up and down the court during his Thursday afternoon athletic period when he collapsed, Bay City superintendent Richard Walton said.

The school nurse, coaches and the athletic director called 911 and immediately began performing CPR, the Victoria Advocate reported in its online edition Saturday.

McAffee was taken to Matagorda General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after he arrived.

"There was no notice of anything wrong with him prior to his collapse," Walton said. "This is our worst nightmare -- to lose a kid like this."

Walton said an autopsy would determine the cause of McAffee's death. Justice of the Peace Aaron Green said McAffee apparently had a previously undiagnosed heart condition.
