A student-athlete from Sanborn Central High School who made an inspirational basket in last year's Sate Tournament has died.

Tanna Kingsbury was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a type of cancer, in 2013.  She died Sunday morning.  Kingsbury's coach and Sanborn Central Athletic Director Tim McCain says her shot in the waning seconds of the game was a special moment shared with the entire state.
