WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas high school football team paid tribute to their longtime photographer following her death Friday, four days after an accidental hit on the sidelines of a junior varsity game she was photographing.
Linda Gregory died a few hours before Friday's game, her husband Mel Gregory announced on Facebook.
The 69-year-old woman had fallen backward and struck her head on concrete while taking pictures Sept. 4 at the junior varsity matchup between Wichita Northwest High School and rival Bishop Carroll High.

Prayers out to you and your wonderful wife, Mel Gregory,” Hall posted on Facebook.
