Jordan High School football player loaded onto ambulance after apparently collapsing pre-game
SUGAR LAND, Texas (KTRK) -- Scary moments unfolded before kickoff Friday night when a Jordan High School football player collapsed, stunning Mercer Stadium to silence.
Eyewitness Sports captured the moments shortly after Jordan players ran out to the field ahead of their 6A Division II playoff game against Hightower High School.
Athletic trainers and coaches were seen tending to someone on the ground close to the Jordan sideline. An ambulance was quickly called out to the field. The player was placed on a gurney to applause from the crowd and loaded into the vehicle. All this happened as players for both teams took their knees and waited.
ABC13 reached out to first-responding agencies in Sugar Land about what took place. Sugar Land Fire and EMS could only say that they responded to a medical call involving a possible student.
The Jordan-Hightower game kicked off after the understandable delay.
