A New York community is remembering a popular high school football player who died last week during a pre-season conditioning camp.

The funeral for Joshua Mileto was held Tuesday in Lake Ronkonkoma (rahn-KAHN'-kuh-muh), Long Island.

Newsday says young men wearing football jerseys lined the steps as the teen's family followed the black coffin into the church.

The 16-year-old died Thursday when he was struck on the head by a log that he and teammates were carrying during a training exercise.

The teen loved the New York Giants — and also played baseball.
