Made for a looooong night, especially with the girls JV foul/violation-fest that followed.

I think that was the worst injury in a basketball game I've worked...other than a cheerleader dropped on her head during pre-game warmups a few years ago.

I can assure you... working in the medical field and seing my fair share of bad injurys.. that is not good at all.

Wow.. thats nasty.
