It
was
a
wonderful
fall
day
for
football.
We
were
all
on
the
bus
heading
to
Monticello
anxious
to
play
our
last
football
game
of
the
season.
The
game
started
and
we
were
winning
big.
It
was
in
the
middle
of
the
2nd
quarter
when
I
got
handed
the
ball
and
I
lowered
my
head
and
ran
another
player
over
for
a
big
gain.
The
very
next
play
it
seemed
as
though
it
was
going
to
be
the
exact
same
play.
I
was
obviously
hoping
for
the
same
outcome
so
I
lowered
my
head
and
got
absolutely
crushed
in
between
two
Monticello
players.
I
had
blacked
out
for
a
while
just
lying
on
the
field.
I
was
helped
off
of
the
field
by
the
coach,
paramedic,
and
athletic
trainer.
I
slightly
remember
sitting
on
the
sideline
just
completely
dazed
as
the
trainer
asked
me
questions
about
what
had
happened
for
the
concussion
test.
I
failed
this
test
miserably
and
was
told
to
wait
until
halftime
when
they
could
get
the
ambulance
to
come
pick
me
up
and
bring
me
to
the
hospital.
I
couldn’t
stand
the
pain
and
