Now for the hit on Diamond. That was just totally bs the kid was down and the hit in the head by just a cheap shot. That #6 for Russell should never be on the field again. There is no place in football for plays like that. I understand football is a contact sport but plays like that should never happen. Hitting a player that is already down leading with the head. Just plain cheap.

It wasn't #6 that hit him in the head. Casey left his feet and the first hit caused him to spin and the second player had already left his feet to hit him......as Casey spun around they hit helmet to helmet. It was one of the most violent hits I've ever seen in a high school game, and was totally unintentional. #6 did fall in late, but that was just from not being able to stop. I stayed home and watched this game onTV, and they showed it at least 10 times. There was no malice from the RC players, but it was a violent helmet to helmet blow. I hate to see players launch, but it is very common these days....this was just a horrible circumstance where Casey's momentum from the first hit made the second one worse. I assure you that the Russell County players, their families, and our fans are every bit as concerned about Casey as you are. He is going to be a very good football player.
