I have never seen a HHS football have so many injuries. We finally have the LB group healthy and now the rest of the defense needs to recover. On the DL - Sisson and Biltz DNP. In the secondary - Steiden, Traylor and Armstrong DNP. Had an LB go out early in the game also.

 

Back in the day, kids would have had to had an arm or leg cut off to not play. Not the case anymore I guess.

And back in the day everyone played when they got their bell rung. Different times today, and IMO for the better. Unless you are saying these kids just don't want to play. Is that what you are insinuating?

Sometimes it goes to the saying "are you hurt or are you injured." This time of year, everyone is hurt.

 

That said, I have no idea on this situation.

I am not insinuating anything. I understand that times have changed and usually it is the trainer that makes the call and not the coaches.

 

I will also echo what LL55 just stated. Not sure of the Highlands situation to address it any further than what I already have right here.

Trainer or doctor makes the call. Not the kid. It's not like it was when we played, when if you could walk you played no matter what.

The. Chatter I'm hearing is these kids are not conditioned to contact football during the week. Yeah I get you can't run the board drill for 60 min everyday but I'm not sure these players are even experiencing football contact in practice from what I am hearing. This can lead to injuries as well.

Highlands has not had a lot of contact at practice for the last how many years.
