Yesterday I was working a sophomore game in a 4 man crew. And in the 4th quarter with Team A down by 10 with 2 min left in the game is in the red zone trying to score. This was a very competitive game. Well there was an interception and I am the LJ. Now I am in no mans land as the play is now coming towards me. I backed up and could tell the hit was coming so I braced myself for the hit. Thankfully because I saw it coming it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I took a facemask to the leg, got cut up pretty good and am bruised pretty good this morning. Thankfully I didn't feel any tears and didn't hear any pops. But my white hat did stop the game for a minute so the trainer on site could evaluate me, apparently I hit my head on the way down too. The trainer cleared me and I finished the last two minutes of the game. I am thankful it wasn't worse.
I'll be back on the field today under the lights! A little Ibuprofen should get me through the game.
