Disaster... This young man's life I'm sure has just taken an unfortunate turn. Two players were running full charge at each other to get the soccer ball. They did not collide. However, both kids kicked the soccer ball with such force that there was a boom that echoed off of the ball like nothing I have ever heard before. It was that kind of sound that you know something has went wrong. Sure enough immediately after the boom he went down. It appears at this point everything in his knee, all the soft connecting tissue, was completely destroyed and pretty much separated the lower leg from the upper. His knee cap was in his lower leg on the front/side of his shin.
I carry injuries from my sports high school days, but this was so devastating. I'm sure his soccer days, or any other sports, are done. My prayers are with this young man that he will at least be able to regain his mobility without too much walking difficulty.
