This is great timing because this is the last year of the contract with TT. I hope that T$$AA gives sensible and thorough thought to a safer venue for these high school championship games!

From Stephen Hargis' twitter account:

 

"I asked if he was ok and he didn't respond so I just stayed still and didn't want to move," Jackson said. "My team said get up but I said..

"No, this man is hurt bad. I think he's knocked out and maybe worse. So I just laid there with him unconscious on top of me."..

We all wanted to win today but at the end of the day he has family to go home to and his life to live and I didn't want to hurt him worse"

Jackson admitted to being emotional while lying on the ground with Zeman. Asked about tears on his face as he came off the field, he said... 

"I was just praying for him man. I was worried for him."

Unbelievable show of sportsmanship & just being heads up beyond his age. Well done Tristian Jackson. Zeman was talking and moving afterward.

Awesome young man that represents his school, community, & parents in an humanitarian fashion!

MC 20 Trez 42 final. Congratulations for a back to back Championship. Praying for those hurt in the game!

Left side of MC OL has totally given up and is about to get their QB hurt.

No matter where you go or what your doing there will always be someone that proves their ignorance. But it doesn't define the masses!

OMG, another MC injury! Praying that this one is also just for preventive measures. Looks like maybe a concussion. First hit in the head by his own players thigh and then a slam to the field.

I can only imagine what Trez would have done in this game if they would have played more disciplined!

That was the most stupid decision for MC in this game. That could cost them the game. Next play a passing td and 2 pt conversion for Trez!!!

MC surely won't go for it!

A stretcher on the field for MC's Zeeman who got crumpled on the run back during the kick off. Praying that this is just a preventive measure!

Hope these kids are ok...it does not look good!

Trez 10 penalties for 84 yds.

Trez is really shooting themselves in the foot. MC is just keeping composed and playing a solid game until allowing that big play. Trez 26 MC 20

MC 13 Trez 20 half

Wow that td was a needed momentum swing for MC!

Congrats Alcoa!! A shame the best game was played November 18

Dang right!

Wow it looks like the software has a virus. Dresden 62 Greenback 27....that's 35.04 points in the wrong direction. Just kidding, and this is why they play the game!

Congratulations to Dresden on a very impressive 15 - 0 championship run this year! Congratulations also for a great 14 - 1 season to Greenback!

Congratulations Alcoa on tying Maryville for your 15th gold ball! Congratulations on a good season to Liberty!

Alcoa is like a precision military attack! Tornadoes 45 - 12! 6:02 4th qtr.

This game makes me realize just how good Elizabethton was this year! No disrespect to anyone!

High School at it's finest in Tn....Alcoa another TD! 38 - 12 Tornadoes!

31 - 12 Alcoa pulling away!

I'm not sure Liberty has that quick strike offense needed to come back if Alcoa scores here. Alcoa to the 12 yd line.

Tornadoes at Liberty's 30 yd line 1st down 2:30 3rd qtr.
