? The 16-year-old Montclair High School football player who collapsed during a game Monday died Wednesday night from his injuries.

Ryne Dougherty, a linebacker on the junior varsity team, collapsed after making a tackle during a game at Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey. After the collapse, he got up briefly, but then fell again. He had been in critical condition at Hackensack University Medical Center with a brain hemorrhage.

The death marks the third football-related tragedy to take place in New Jersey in the past 10 weeks.
