PA D-back injury last week....

I saw the x-Ray of his jaw tonight. It broke in half from his tooth line to the bottom left center of his chin. Just a straight split. It's gruesome. He hit a teammate's knee making a tackle. A few months of food intake through a straw. Tough break for a senior who loves the game and plays hard.

PA 9th grade beat Watson Chapel 40-0 and remains undefeated.

8 week liquid only diet... Very unfortunate. Praying for young man.

That is just awful.... Life can be so tough some times. I hope he heals as fast as possible from an injury like that. Best wishes in recovery young man.

Surgeon says it will heal well and all be good to go, it will just take some time. He also said it was more akin to a break you see in a car wreck, not a football game. The gap shown in the xRay was at least an eighth of an inch, top to bottom.

It has been a while since I have seen an x-Ray. They are awfully high resolution. Amazingly clear and every detail is visible.
