The playing status of #12, #33, and #4

[82 5A State Champs]

OK, I just talked to Chip, (the head Athletic Trainer at West Brook) and he said that Christian Louis suffered a Pulmonary Contusion to his lung. What this means is that he's torn, or damaged, the inner lining in one of his lungs. This is the reason he was spitting up blood. C-Lou is on antibiotics, and should be OK to play on Friday. Now the other primadonna is another story. With the case with Michaels, he has a "hip pointer", I believe is what it was called. He basically injured his hip in the Channelview game, and re-aggrivated it again in the Lee game. It was padded in the second half of the Lee game, and he played fine. He also has a knee that has been nagging him for some time, but that is also OK. Basically he is cleared to play, if he really wants to. Jordan Garrett is most likely out until the Sterling game. He has a high-ankle sprain that is slow to heal. It is hopeful that all three of these young men will be healthy for the last game of the season, and headed into the playoffs with a full head of steam. If #12 is healthy, with #4 and #33 in the backfield once again, we should be OK once the playoffs get here.

So much for HIPPA laws.....  haha

Do you know anything about DE  #8?

[82 5A State Champs]

Malcolm Williams? I think I heard Chip to say that he would be back this week. His goal is to have everyone healthy for the NS game. Although, I'm not sure how much good it will do against the Mustangs. They're liable to injure a bunch more of us if we're not careful.

You use the word "primadonna". Do you not know that is a derogratory word in the sense or did you mean it that way?

I would not label C-Mike a "primadonna".

[82 5A State Champs]

Perhaps prima donna was a poor choice of words. Maybe "movie star" would be better?

IF # 12  Louis can't go. Who will be the starting Q.B.? I heard the backup really struggled against R.E Lee. Is there chance #20 will do any Q.B. duty (was really good at Q.B. his freshman year) ?

[82 5A State Champs]

No, I dont think so. I think Reyes is too valuable playing on defense to put him in there at QB. If C-Lou cant go, them Paul Falgout (#14) will start in his place. Falgout will most likely be our QB next year, unless Craig Stump's oldest son, who is a freshman this year, earns that spot.

i wouldnt label c-mike anything near primadonna or movie star...he is the best back and texas and every night he takes the field the other defense is trying to take him out...anyone who would like to volunteer to take the shots that c-mike has to deliver as well as take let me know and ill get him to meet you at the field to see what its all about...this kids a beast no question

[Bruin4Life]

you also havew to take into account last year...he got really beat up in the humble game remember...?...its not like this has just come about out of no where he has had nagging knee and hip problems and who wouldnt

# 20 bruce reyes plays offense

Ever heard of TMI folks.  Its ok to report the status of an injured player--but details should not be given. Tell me where it hurts and i'll hit you there.  Lets let these kids heal when and where they want to.   

Just like the media---here we are at the beach of Somalia where at any moment the Navy seals will be secretly coming ashore.  "Turn those fricked flood lights off"

Maybe they can post their SS#'s and bank info as well. :

[westend1]

Ha ha.  I'm sure the coaches down at PAM wouldn't have known anything about these injuries if it wasn't posted on here.        :

[jesusfreak]

not sure this thread is appropriate...  nor am I sure "chip" should be giving all that info out to be placed on a public board.

There is much debate whether athletic trainers are subject to HIPPA regulations.

Ethically, I disagree with giving out that much information UNLESS you have the parents' permission.

So much for HIPPA laws.....  haha

I don't think there is any confidentiality or HIPAA laws that they are concerned with.

as a professional, "chip" should be.

[westend1]

"Chip" probably knows these kids and their parents much better than us.  I'm guessing he gets no complaints from these kids or their parents(one of which is a coach) for talking to Brook fans about their injuries and progress.  If they don't complain, why should anyone else?

[shorttexas1]

COOP or administrators please delete this thread... This is not the NFL we do not need to know the injury status of these kids.  Little bit too personal and let's give the names of our sources!
