A Desert Oasis High School student died after suffering a “medical emergency” during a game Thursday night, according to the school’s principal.

“Staff immediately began providing medical aid and continued until paramedics arrived,” Principal Ian Salzman wrote in an email Friday to the school community. “It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that the student passed away.”

The girl was identified by the Clark County coroner’s office as Ashari Hughes, 16. Her cause and manner of death were pending Friday morning.

Hughes was playing varsity flag football against Valley High School, a game that was scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m., according to the school’s website.

Marilyn Barnes’ 15-year-old daughter, Ajah, begin playing flag football as a freshman at Centennial High School last year after Hughes, who was on Centennial’s team at the time, persuaded her.
