When I became conscious I see an old familiar man with a voice hard to forget saying “Tyler are you alright“. I tried to talk but no words came to me. My mouth was dry as the Sahara and I was dizzy. The first thing I said “was did we win” my coach replying with a sour face said “don’t worry about that right now we need to get you some medical attention” once I heard those words I knew something wasn’t right I could feel this constant burning in my leg that wouldn’t go away. I tried to get up but fell right back down. Later on when the ambulance came I discovered I had a torn a.c.l
Whatever that was I knew it wouldn’t be good. I needed crutches for 4 weeks and a boot for 2 I knew that wasn’t enough time to be healed up for the all-star Richardson scout game in 5 weeks where coaches from 10 collages come see what talent Richardson had to offer for there future players I had been fortunate enough to be the only one from my team chosen but unfortunate to have this happen to me.
