WORCESTER, Mass. - A basketball training day paid tribute to late Worcester teenager Harris Wolobah, the 14-year-old Doherty High School student who died after taking part in the viral "One Chip Challenge."

Wolobah died as a result of a cardiopulmonary arrest in the setting of recent ingestion of food substance with high capsaicin concentration.

The "Hoops for Harris" training day was held at Clark University Saturday and welcomed local students from middle and high school as a way to come together and honor one of Harris' biggest passions: basketball.

"Wow. Today is a very emotional day for me," Harris' mother Lois said. "And at the same time, I'm very excited to see everyone here today. This means a lot to me. It means a lot to Harris. This is one of the things that Harris loves to do. So I'm very happy to be here. He loved the game. He lived the game of basketball. It means a lot to me. It means a lot to my family. I'm overly, overly joyed. I'm grateful that I'm part of the city of Worcester."

Wolobah's family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit over their son's passing.

Attorneys from Boston's Sheff & Cook say the defendants, including Walgreens, where the chip was sold, Paqui, the chipmaker, and Hershey's, the chipmaker's owner, did not restrict children from getting the product, marketed it toward younger kids and encouraged people to eat it on social media.
