A soccer coach is being hailed as a hero after making a great save.
Coach and educator Isha Hamilton says she used her CPR training for the first time in her 11-year career at Edmund W. Miles Middle School in Amityville to save a student.
Seventh-grader Kiavelyn Altagracia fell to the ground unconscious and stopped breathing. With the help of a defibrillator and chest compressions, Kiavelyn began breathing on her own again.
