Girl’s high school flag football is once again underway in the CSRA, and the reigning Division 2 state champions are picking up right where they left off.
On the opening kickoff, number 27 for Midland Valley took a blindside block that knocked him down for nearly 20 minutes.
Coaches and staff gathered around for about half an hour and you could hear a pen drop here.
There was no ambulance on the scene until after the injury occurred.
Interim Head Coach Brent Dorn and his team were all visibly shaken up following the incident.
The good news is we were able to see the player give a thumbs-up before entering the ambulance and being taken to a local hospital.
As of now, we still do not have an update on the player’s condition.
It wasn’t til about 8 p.m. that the ambulance pulled off the field and play resumed.
All in all, we did have a game to cover.
The Yellow Jackets were able to take advantage of their opening drive with a Corey Tillman house call.
Midland Valley’s explosive scoring continued early in the first half as the Mustangs had the Yellow Jackets on the ropes.
Later in the game, Midland Valley started to run out of answers, and North Augusta put their foot on the gas and never looked back.
The Yellow Jackets got revenge on the Mustangs from last season and took this 45 to 21.
North Augusta is now 8-1 on the year with just one game left to play.
North Augusta has a chance to take the region from Gray Collegiate next Friday night.
As of right now, Gray Collegiate Is Without Head Coach DeAngelo Bryant, who was previously from Silver Bluff.
Bryant was suspended by the South Carolina High School League due to recruiting violations.
Gray testified that Bryant wasn’t on staff at the time those rules were broken.
The school is expected to appeal.
