OSWEGO, Ill. — It may not be something we associate with kids, but suffering a stroke is one of the top 10 causes of death in children in the U.S. The signs can often be missed because of lack of awareness.
At 6-feet 4-inches tall and 280 pounds, 16-year-old Carson Cathey is a powerhouse on the football field.
“I bench a lot, probably around 350 pounds,” he said.
The Oswego High School junior is a defensive tackle and has been playing sports all his life.
