2 Young football players die in Kansas, Ohio

CNN)—Two youth football players died this week in Kansas and Ohio -- one a high school senior with plans to head to college next fall, and the other just 9 years old.

The deaths of Luke Schemm, 17, and Wyatt Barber bring to at least nine the number of youths across the country who have died in football incidents since early September.

Schemm scored "back-to-back touchdowns" in a playoff game Tuesday night for his Wallace County High School team. On the final play, he was tackled, ran to the sidelines and collapsed, his father, David Schemm, said Wednesday.

Schemm suffered a traumatic brain injury, "causing it to swell and shut off blood flow to the brain," his father wrote in a Facebook post.
