eersfan88 10 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Heard a Galax player was injured today and med flight was called in. Has anyone heard this and if so any word on how he is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance 228 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 nothing confirmed, but i read on facebook that med flight had called in a good report to BRMC, said they didn't think anything was broken. Hopefully they are just being very cautious, which is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 He suffered a back injury. He was medflighted out. They announced that he was talking and moving his hands, he was in a lot of pain. They also announced that the paramedics thought he was gonna be ok. He took a hard shot on a clip, wasn't necessarily a "dirty" play, it was near the ball. Just a mistake. Don't want to take chances with an injury like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 The Galax City Public School system just tweeted that Cross was released from the hospital. Speculation on facebook is that he suffered a kidney bruise. 1inStripes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Great news to hear. A kidney bruise is much better than what I am sure many feared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Cross is a good kid. He has had a tough road through his 15 years. I have known this kid for many years. I will be sure to pass along everyone's concerns for his well being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISOaPBR 15 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 That was scary,but galax media blew the hit outta pa portion.. Calling it dirty and to toss the defender out..glad hes ok but geez..its a contact sport..things are gonna happen Be a little more specific. From the Galax Gazette: The game was halted for more than an hour with 5:45 to play when Galax lineman Cross Gonzalez suffered a back injury on the fumble return. As a precaution, a Virginia State Police medical helicopter was called to the scene and transported Gonzalez to a Tri-Cities area hospital. “I’m not sure what happened, I just pray that he’ll be okay,†said Dixon. “I don’t know the whole situation, don’t want to say too much. I’m just praying, the whole team is praying, I know our community is praying, and certainly the people at Haysi were wonderful.†With the teams sent to their locker rooms, a local pastor led the silent stadium in a heartfelt and touching prayer for Gonzales. According to a tweet from Galax City Public Schools, he was released from the hospital Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually took away from the fact that a kid was down and being medflighted out by continually saying how dirty it was and he should be thrown out.

sportsfan 21 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 He's talking about the radio announcers. They actually took away from the fact that a kid was down and being medflighted out by continually saying how dirty it was and he should be thrown out. Yeah, I was listening via wwwj1360 (Galax) and one announcer was professional as usual. There was one (maybe the color guy, I hate to listen to him) announcer that protested a little too much. First, it was a hit in the back by a Haysi player that was not called a penalty. Haysi should of had the ball (which they did at the 50) but the announcer wanted the officials, who was looking right at the play according to the color guy, to flag the hit in the back that caused the injury (and take some yards back). I think the color-guy was caught up in the potential score by Dixon(who fumbled) which would have put Galax within two with 5+ minutes left. Way I see it...sometimes a call is just missed (ref's can't see everything) but Haysi would of had the ball anyway, and it was up to Galax to keep Haysi from scoring and they didn't. That announcer (sure sixcat knows who I'm talking about) could of said what he saw once but he did carry-on too much and it was not appropriate for that situation. Good luck to Haysi tonight.

His name is Crockett Brown. In my opinion, he is way too immature to be in that position! He must have stated 25 times that the officials needed to come to the booth and review the video that he was replaying for anyone withing earshot to come see. He later posted it on facebook with some very absurd comments that only fueled the less than classy segment of our community. It was an unfortunate situation but the young man is okay. I have seen the video and it should have been a penalty but it was in no way, shape, or form, malicious. One of the first things you learn in sandlot, on a turnover, you better have your head on a swivel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 loved the comments about it being a late hit, out of bounds, and how they got cheated. Geez. Yep, missed call. But I wonder if the injury was caused by the late hit guy, or the teammate who hit HIM and landed OoB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
