Get well soon

A Rush Springs High School freshman was severely injured and hospitalized during a junior high game Tuesday at Washington.
All thoughts and prayers are with Justin Barney, a 14-year-old kid just doing what he loves. A television report said after making a routine tackle, he collapsed.
He was taken by an ambulance to the hospital and was put into a medically induced coma. That’s good news. He did not slip into the coma, he was put into it, and it has helped him as doctors continue to do whatever they can to help Justin.
Friday night’s game with Wewoka will not be postponed, said athletic director and principal Mike Zurline.
The Rush Springs coaching staff declined to comment, understandably so. Both assistants told me they are respecting the wishes of the Barney family that asked them to not say anything at this time.
My thoughts and prayers (and I’m sure the rest of our high school staff) are with Barney, his family and anyone associated with Rush Springs schools.
More on this story as it develops.
