gdickert Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I've seen lots of injuries in my days, but when I caught this one on film, I couldn't believe it when I saw the final image. It was at the Silsbee-Hamshire Fannett youth Senior Super Bowl last year at Kelly High School.If you have a strong stomach ... take a look ...

gdickert Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I've only seen an ambulance on the field twice and I've been covering sports for newspapers for over 20 years ... Both times the kids were ok, thank goodness. ... More a precaution, I suppose.The kid in the picture dislocated his elbow, was in a soft cast for a while and has recovered fully now ...

rhino1877 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Well I have seen many injuries. I had a kid take a helmet to his hand and cut it between the knuckles. Well it took stitches and then he got staph with it. He was out for about 6 weeks. He was a starting linebacker. There a kid last year that took a helmet to a shin and he broke his leg. Not a pretty site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joemike Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Not a big fan of Pee Wee football, that is one reason. Let the kids mature and learn through Flag until they get to Jr High. I would like to know what most coaches think about it. The ones I have talked to agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I have talked to agree.I cant say that i am the biggest fan of pee wee football either, but that would not be one of the reasons. Getting hurt is part of any activity that you get involved in. That same injury could happen to that child in his back yard playing tackle football with his neighbors.

Ty Cobb Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 and my seventh grade year in jasper, it was the district championship(we won, whoo!!!) lol my friend slid off the field going to tackle somebody and the plastic drain cover was broken, it got his arm pretty good, i know staples were involved, it wasnt good eitherI've seen an injury that is very similiar to this one. 1993, game was played in Robinson. The opposing team's QB was knocked out of bounds and he slid across a drain. There was a piece of metal sticking up. It put a 4 inch cut across his elbow all the way to the bone. The QB, with stitches and heavy wrapping, played in the bi-district playoff game the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmac Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 The worst injury I have ever personally seen was in a soccer match between Langham Creek and Klein. Two player hit going full speed for the ball. You could actually hear the Langham Creek player's knee explode. The young man ended up having surgery two different times because of that collision.

shermdog Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I was at the 91 A&M-TCU game when Coryatt hit Mcpherson.Saw Rodney Thomas againist Mizzou break the leg of FS that was filling the alley. Rodney never touched the kids leg. Shoulder to shoulder contact. It was a tib-fib break. Our photographer got it on film. That part of the leg should never be at 90 degrees.

raidernaytion Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 When I was a youngster I went to a jv game in Vidor with my cousin and someone broke their neck. He stayed on the field for hours. Then we were directed to evacuate under the bleachers as life flight landed on the playing field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohc6 Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 reciever from silsbee got his hat knocked off last year... chinstrap shattered and i hear he thought he was in the shower when he got carried to the sidelines afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewIndian Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 The hit WOS laid on the LCM QB last year, they had to cart him off in EMS and take him to St Es by heloI have been a coach of football teams flag etc.... and i think PeeWee foootball is great they have to strap it up sooner or later and learn how to hit and be hit and the earlier they have that experience they will know if this is something they are going to stick with, and the truly committed are in the program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfmom08 Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I was at this game also...I have it on video...not as good/close as the pics...actually #10 for Hamshire-Fannett is my son who plays quaterback and cornerback on defense. I knew it was bad when I saw it happen...i felt so bad for the other player...I think he has recovered. I enjoyed looking at the other pictures you had of this game...GREAT PICS..i will be ordering some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdickert Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 The injury that you see in my picture was a freak accident. Honestly, youth sports gives kids an outlet for their energy, teaches them teamwork and goal-setting and gives them a sense of ownership for something that is bigger than themselves.If you think youth sports is a hazard to a child's health, then take away their skateboard and bicycle, swimming pool and trampoline too. I'd rather have my kid fully padded on a football field than riding down the street on a skateboard with shorts and a tshirt.My two boys have done all sorts of things. My oldest is a varsity football player in Kountze. He comes home bruised and achy and ready to go to bed. But he wouldn't miss a moment of it.He's a Kountze Lion ... just ask him.I wouldn't take that away from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
