Oklahoma high school football player Zach Doran died while sparring in MMA training

An 18-year-old high school football player from Oklahoma at Mustang High School passed away this month.
According to reports, Zach Doran was sparring in MMA training on March 3rd when he suffered a heart attack. The reports say Doran was placed in a coma but never woke up.
His father Jason who is also his football coach said he has been training for MMA for years.
“He’s been doing MMA for probably 2-3 years; that was one of his passions. He was just in a sparring session with some of his MMA teammates, and he just went down, and [had] sudden cardiac arrest,” he said.
Please pray for comfort and strength for the Doran family and all who knew Zach.
The family has set up a GoFundMe which you can find here.
