🏈 worst news ever!

[HIGHTIDES]

For me anyway. Nothing has been cleared up quite yet, but there's rumor that Matchett could be getting a medical scholarship and that his playing days are over. Matchett and Hightower were the top of my wishlists before we landed them and I was accused many of times of having man-crushes on both of them.haha I've been counting the days til he got on the field. Whatta bummer. Hope Hightower stays healthy... cause I think I'm a friggin curse.

SIAP

If that is the case, I really hate it. I only saw him play in the 5A state championship game, but I liked what I saw. The youngster really hit the hole with authority.

Was he the running back that played in the spring that scored a TD or was that Preyear?

Matchett scored the TD on A-day this past spring.

Heard the same & if true, really sorry for the young man. At least he gets an education.

Somebody enlighten me...what happen to him, how did he get hurt?

 

[HIGHTIDES]

Nobody really knows at the moment if this is even true. Nothing official has been released. The word I'm getting is that it's something with his back.

I can assure you, without the slightest of doubts, the hurt back news is true.

He didn't work out with the team last week because of his back. It's not the first time he's missed conditioning drills this summer.

I know the back info is true... the "end of career" stuff is what I mean isn't official as far as I know.

There are more than one who have had the thought of a medical 'shirt dropped to them in conversation...'bout all I feel comfortable saying on the public forums.

Thanks guys. I hope and pray, for his sake that it is not as serious as first thought. He seems to be a great kid. If it is "carrer ending" I hope he does get a degree and make something good of himself.
