Also a crown to crown hit kills football player in seattle

Both of these were probably preventable. The first, if it's storming, you don't need to be running sprints outside. If it hadn't been, then there's really nothing you can do.

 

The second one, though, sickens me. I went to college in Arkansas, and I was the color commentator for the local HS football broadcasts. One of the last games before I started, a player on the other team took a weird hit that hurt his head -- wasn't helmet to helmet, he just came down weird. They tended to him for a while and let him walk off the field. That night, he ended up having to go to the emergency room, and he died overnight.

 

This can't be emphasized enough...if there's any type of head/neck injury, DO NOT LET THE KID WALK OFF!

 

Would either one have ended up dying from the injury? Who knows. But walking with a broken neck sure as heck didn't help.

      Why Are They Losing?

      By INoLosers · Posted

      One of the biggest loosing teams in Mid-State are the Macon County Tigerettes. I have noticed that the roster is smaller than in the years past. All the senior's have quit. We have a great group of Jr High players coming up. I sure hope they don't loose them, like they have lost so many others this year. With this young group of girls coming up, a weaker district, they should have no problem going to State.

      It was updated this season, because I did it.  Linder is the school's all-time leading rusher at 5,156 yards with 2,436 of those coming in 2014.

      Oh, I’m sure you did. Maybe you heard just a rumor, but considering we have a football practice field and a soccer field that’s frequently used for lacrosse games and practices, I highly doubt it. Let me change that. I know for a fact that didn’t happen.   Glad you finally stopped attacking a bunch of high school students, but still obsessed with the coaching staff for some unknown reason, even though you could name more than three (at most) coaches without looking it up. But now come up with something else.
