What started out as a 2-week AAU Spring Fling tournament I was really looking forward to (our games were all scheduled at WXHS which is a first in the school's history)...
...ended in a not-so-fun evening at Instacare.
After only 5 minutes in the game, Grayson took a charge under the opposing basket and went flying into the brick wall, using his hand to brace the landing so he wouldn't hit his head. He suspected it was broken right away after experiencing the same thing on the other wrist 2 years prior in another basketball tournament. Got it splinted until he could see the doctor and get a real cast.
He chose a blue cast so it would match his tennis uniform. He still intends to practice with the team and if he can figure out how to serve with the cast, he'll try and play in a match before the season is over in a few weeks.
The positive thing about the outcome--he's a 9th grader and not a senior. Lots of team sports ahead...
