moment of silence

A west Michigan high school basketball team has won its first game since a star player collapsed after scoring the winning basket to give his team a perfect regular-season record.

Nearly 3,500 fans observed a moment of silence before the tipoff of Monday night's state tournament game between the teams from Fennville and Lawrence high schools.

Connecticut players held hands in unity and bowed their heads while joining No. 22 West Virginia for a moment of silence in memory of slain Huskies cornerback Jasper Howard on Saturday.
