The grief-stricken mom of a 13-year-old girl who died suddenly during a game of tug-of-war at her Alabama school said Saturday that her daughter was full of life and “never met a stranger.” 
 
 Sixth-grader Maddison Wentworth was playing Thursday with other students when she collapsed during an end-of-the-year Field Day event at Williams Intermediate in Pell City, according to authorities. “The love I’ve received from the community has just been overwhelming.” 
 
 Wentworth said Maddison’s death was a shock. Leslie Wentworth's daughter, Maddison, collapsed during a tug-of-war competition at Williams Intermediate School around lunch Thursday. The school nurse was also at the field day and the nurse and coaches began CPR, Pell City police spokesperson Don Newton said. She was taken by ambulance to St. Clair Saint Vincent’s where she passed away. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, and with the faculty and students who knew her and loved her every day. “It’s a traumatic event for everybody, especially right here at the end of school.” 
 
 Pell City Schools gave a statement: 
 
 It is with great sadness that we report the loss of one of our precious sixth grade students. A GoFundMe account has been established to “help with the financial side of this horrific time” in the lives of the girl’s family. Friday, superintendent Dr. Michael Barber said there were drinks being sold at concession stands but that teachers made water available to the students and there were many water fountains inside the school for students to use. “She told me that they were only allowed to get water if they went to go to the restroom, otherwise they had to buy the water, she said it was like a dollar or a $1.50 a bottle,” said Amanda Garrett.
– An Alabama family is reeling after their 13-year-old daughter collapsed and died during a game of tug-of-war during her school's field day last week, WVTM reports. Leslie Wentworth says her daughter Maddison had been excited for the annual event. "She was a beautiful kid," Wentworth says. "She was a bright star. She was going to go places." When Maddison collapsed while playing tug-of-war at Williams Intermedia School in Pell City, a school nurse and coaches immediately started performing CPR, reports WIAT. But the teen was pronounced dead after being transported to the hospital. Wentworth tells Fox News Maddison didn't have any health problems that she knew of, and a cause of death has yet to be determined. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family, students, faculty, and staff,” a police spokesperson tells WIAT. One parent is blaming the school for not providing adequate water for the students during the hot day. “[My daughter] told me that they were only allowed to get water if they went to go to the restroom, otherwise they had to buy the water," Amanda Garrett says. "She said it was like a dollar or a $1.50 a bottle." She says her daughter, who was playing tug-of-war with Maddison, said Maddison complained about being dizzy and having a headache before collapsing. The school district's superintendent tells WVTM teachers made sure water was available for students.
