You don't want a compound fracture on your hands

[waltjp]

Had a kid get a compound fracture in a JV game a few years back. He had the ball and was being pursued near B's 5 yard line when a defender got his arms around the runner's shoulders and pulled him down. As they fell the defender landed on the runner's legs. I was trailing the play and could hear the snap.

I immediately blew my whistle and when I turned to call the coach I saw that he was already hightailing it in our direction.
