I don't know.  I seem to have read a lot of posts on these nederland threads about how the players aren't dedicated enough to football.  Seems this is exactly what some folks want.  I'm hoping it was the kid's decision to go out there and not the new coach pushing for it.

The kid has a future playing D1 baseball.  Having baseball kids in pads in April during the district season and playoffs is a good way to get all those kids to quit football.

I am all for multiple sport athletes. I always say play as many as you can in high school.

But during that sports season, a player should not be going through drills for another sport. Particularly contact drills.

It's my understanding this was a decision by coach, not player.

Hate this for the young man...... And his team. I would think it's a 100 percent participation kinda thing. Unless you are pitching that day. Injuries are part of it.

[spidersal]

I certainly think if it is an in season varsity sport, the players should be allowed to miss all contact in football spring training. Yes be there and watch and learn, but no contact unless it is the player’s choice

Drelon ran track during basketball season? I guess he shouldn’t have until basketball season was over…

Accidents happen it doesn't matter if the player is in season or not. This is not on a coach or a player its just an unfortunate situation. Many athletes all across the state participate in multiple sports at the same time. Shoot Prime suited out for a professional baseball game and a professional football game in the same day.

No he did not. 

Participating in two sports where their seasons run the same is much different.

Is the injun Qb injured? Was he participating in football and baseball at the same time?

Got some info on this...this was a footwork drill when the injury happened and that this is a pre-existing condition (he injured the elbow before)  As if there wasn't drama in Nederland before now the new football coach is taking heat from the baseball people because of it...Coach Rich is trying to change the culture at Nederland it was inevitable that he ruffled a few feathers along the way

I mean the baseball kids aren’t even doing football after school, they go to baseball… baseball kids get about a hour during the period.

Yes, the new bulldog jersey should have “don’t hit me “ printed on it.  Nederland could start a powder puff league.
