KFDM COOP Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up A 15 year old Timpson High School football player collapsed shortly after a Friday evening game at Burkeville. A witness at the scene, Cora Myers, said the teen collapsed at about 10:30 while the team was loading onto their bus after handily defeating Burkeville as they prepared to return to Timpson. Myers said the entire Timpson football team, and several players from Burkeville gathered around the boy and prayed while he lay motionless. Meanwhile, the coaches and an unidentified lady at the scene administered first aid. Myers said when the players stopped praying, the young man suddenly took a deep breath, and the players around him began cheering. The player was rushed to the Jasper County Airport and transported to a Lufkin Hospital where he was later reported to be in good condition. Sources close to the situation said that it was learned that the boy had experienced an apparent seizure about a week ago at a track meet.

bronco1 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 There is a good dose of reality, reminds us of how important these kids are to us and how little football does matter. Hats off the Timpson kids for praying!!! Sounds like an awesome bunch.

orangecoog Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 What's wrong here? The players pray and yet the government and courts tell us we can not pray. The majority is beaten down again.
