Not great news for Guyer softball, but not as bad as feared
The Guyer softball team suffered a serious injury on Monday in a friendly game of "backwards softball", the Lady Wildcats' Monday ritual when they play with their opposite hands and bat opposite of what is natural to them.
Guyer assistant coach Trey Shaw, who might've taught Amber Gonzales a thing or two about diving for balls, apparently goes all out in every practice and plays like he's trying to win a game....in practice.
So Shaw dove for a ball and landed awkwardly on his wrist, snapping it in two. Head coach Keith Medford told me he heard the bone snap and Shaw just got up and calmly said "It's gone, I'm out," and went on to the hospital.
Medford's take on the situation, "At least it was him and not one of the girls." Of course, it was in a joking manner, but it would be disastrous if it were Gonzales and not Shaw considering the Lady Wildcats start their regional quarterfinal best-of-three series against Joshua, which knocked off Ryan, on Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. at Keller Central.
