Benedict coach in good condition after falling ill
Tuesday, November 04, 2008COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Benedict football coach Stanley Conner is recovering after his apparent heart attack during a game against Kentucky State.
Conner was in good condition, Providence Hospitals spokeswoman Megan Wright said Monday. His vital signs are stable and within normal ranges, and he is conscious and comfortable.
The coach began feeling ill just before halftime of Saturday’s home game and was taken to the locker room and then to the hospital. Assistant Brian Wajert coached the team in the second half of Benedict’s 42-35 victory.
Conner is in his second year at Benedict after working as an assistant at Alabama A&M.
