Totally agree with everything stated. I was in the stands behind the Eastside bench and thought that the injured player had suffered a concussion. Someone said afterward that he had suffered muscle spasms from landing on his hip and that he did lose consciousness briefly. For the SCHSL not to have an EMT on hand is ludicrous. Do they staff an EMT at the football and basketball championships? Those sports are considered "contact sports", too. With the traffic and amount of people tailgating around Memorial Stadium Saturday getting an emergency ambulance in the facility would definitely have been tough. Should have alleviated that concern by having one in the stadium for rapid departure if needed.
Other than that I thought Memorial Stadium was excellent. A suggestion to the canteen (get more food in the future for the Class 4A game). Those of us who like to spend the afternoon watching the Championships do get hungry.
