This is a statement from a young man from Honaker. He was injured last night And the amount of heart he shows is why I love this game. I will read this to the kids I coach. So that they will know what a privilege it is to play this game. Thank you for your passion young man. GO TIGERS!
Last night as we played Wythe, I suffered a concussion, I don't remember the play it happened on. I remember waking up sitting on the bench beside coach Fuller, and I had already finished the concussion test. I told him that the test didn't mean anything, because I have it memorized from previous concussions. I told him thay I have one, because I didn't remember anything. To this moment, I only remember one play of the game. The doctors have told me I can't play anymore. I'd like to thank my coaches for everything they've done, for Honaker fans for making the game fun, and my teammates for giving me someone to fight for, and for being my brothers. Lastly, give every play everything you have, because you don't know which is your last. I don't get to remember my last play, and I hope I gave it my all, so I didn't disappoint my team, community, and coaches."
