Three coaches at Chaminade High School were honored Thursday for saving a student who went into cardiac arrest and collapsed on the basketball court. McLoganTV reports.
-- Three coaches hailed as heroes were honored Thursday at Chaminade High School in Mineola.
PJ Kellachan, a 6-foot-8 basketball center, is back at Chaminade High School after enduring a harrowing brush with death. Kellachan headed to the sideline following a drill inside Chaminade's athletic center when he suffered a seizure and collapsed. "His life was really in our hands at that point," said assistant coach Bob Paul. "PJ stopped breathing. He lost his pulse. We knew there was obviously a cardiac issue taking place," said coach Dan Feeney. "So I sprinted to get the AED, started compressions, started CPR. At that point we shocked him," said Vargas.
"My mom and dad were in the hospital. I think my grandma was at home with my sisters," said Kellachan. "Shocking. To see him two days later looking like nothing happened to him, it's miraculous," said Paul.
