How could he?
"I was actually right there," Abram said. " ... It was one of those things where he would wake up and then go back to sleep. I didn't know what was happening, not until my mom called 911. My whole family came to our house and then they took him to (Methodist Hospital in Gary).
"That's when he died."
Reggie Abram Sr. died of a heart attack Feb. 21, 2009. He was 41.
Wednesday would have been his 54th birthday.
Abram Jr. said he was playing with his sister, Ryan, at their home in Merrillville when the phone rang and he handed it to his father. One of Abram Jr.'s cousins had called, asking to speak with his dad. But throughout that brief conversation, Abram Sr. seemed to float in and out of consciousness.
Bishop Noll star Courtney Blakely had no clue about her latest recognition until the messages started rolling in.
"Somebody texted my phone, and they were like, 'Congratulations, Courtney!' and I was like, 'On what?' with like five question marks because I was confused," Blakely said. "Then I looked at my Instagram (account) and was like, 'Wow.'"
Blakely is one of four Region natives that were announced as McDonald's All-American Games nominees Thursday morning, accompanied by teammate Rose Fuentes, Michigan City's Trinity Thompson and Lowell's Christopher Mantis.
Throughout her senior campaign, Blakely led the state in scoring at 31.7 points per game and was the 10th leading scorer nationally, according to MaxPreps.
