Ouch



I was familiar with the story of Decatur football coach Kyle Story's son who suffered a serious leg injury last fall. I mean, so serious he almost lost his leg. The above photo ran in the Messenger last week along with an updated story  (behind paywall) on how the kid is doing.  But moments ago photographer Joe Duty released the photo of the actual tackle that caused the kid's leg to bend in a manner it is not supposed to. Oh, my!

(Do me a favor and keep the comments civil. There's a legitimate discussion to be had about the risks of football in general, but we don't need to call people out or be personal. Decatur ISD is always a hot button.)
