A Pearl City J.V. football player collapsed during practice today, but thanks to a fast acting trainer he was able to be revived.
The team's coach says a 9th-grade offensive tackle, was doing hitting drills head-to-head with another player when he suddenly collapsed.
A trainer at the practice ran to grab an automated external defibrillator or AED.
"Once we realized he stopped breathing, the trainer was right there right by the hill so his quick response actually helped save him," said J.V. headcoach Jerry Arrayan.
"We hooked him up and he started coming around but i still had to do some CPR and eventually the pulse came back," said athelectic heath care trainer Colin Lee.
The player was taken to the hospital in serious condition.
