A Memphis community and its football players mourning the death of one of their own. A Millington Central High School football player died during practice Tuesday after taking a hard hit to the chest. Sophomore Dana Payne died on the way to the hospital. Family members, friends and coaches gathered to pay their respects last night. Sources tell our FOX affiliate in Memphis that they were able to revive Payne on the field, but he died on the way to the hospital. Superintendent John Aitkin made the announcement about the tragedy at a Shelby County Board of Education meeting last night and got a little choked up.
"Just got word that one of our football players in Millington has sustained an injury and we're going to head on down there," said Aitkin. "We appreciate your thoughts and prayers."
The meeting was quickly adjourned after that. No word yet on whether Payne had any underlying medical conditions.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Powerball ticket sold in Tennessee barely missed winning a share of an estimated $590.5 million prize. But the ticket has a nice consolation prize worth $1 million.
Officials say the Powerball ticket worth $1 million was sold in Chattanooga.
There's no word yet on who won.
A Powerball ticket sold at a supermarket in Zephyrhills, Fla., matched all six numbers selected Saturday night for the estimated $590.5 million prize. It's the highest Powerball jackpot in history.
The winning numbers were 10, 13, 14, 22 and 52, with a Powerball of 11.
