JV game. Home team is a small town school with only 13 total players. 1st quarter, visiting team punts, home team fields it and the player with the ball gets taken down with a clean tackle. Kid begins screaming in agony (using some pretty colorful language) and one of the guys on the crew tells him to settle down. He takes one look at the kid and notices that his leg is bent at an aweful angle -- He had a full break of his leg. Immediately called the ambulance. 30-45 minutes later we get the game going again.

I'm a bit queazy when it comes to seeing stuff like that so I'm glad I wasn't the covering official.
