Sending a report to your StateHSAA office was a good start. Also, if you have liability insurance, make a report of the incident and send it to your insurance company so they have a copy on file in case the player's parents decide to sue you. It is better to do this now than wait until you are sued two years from now.

This is by far the best advice you're going to get. Sadly, you need to prepare to get sued. Speak to your insurance carrier. Speak to a lawyer, regardless of whether you are insured or not. You made your statements in writing so probably best to just keep your mouth shut at this point.

I expect it would be smart to include your partner's statement with yours when you send it to the insurance person. Also, you might ask around a little and see if you can find some video. This will definitely be more productive now than, as Mark says, two years from now. Think back to the moment. Were there any parents or photographers standing around that might have seen what happened? It might be smart to just notify them that they could be involved in the future and get any statement they might be willing to make.
