Officials said John Gerry was riding on the hood of a teammate's car when he tripped and fell to the ground Friday, with one of the tires ending up on his back. The Bangor Daily News says about six players from Rockland District High School and a couple of parents tilted the car up, and they held the car there for 20 minutes until an ambulance arrived. His team gave him the game ball after winning the next day. Gerry, who admits jumping on the hood of his friend's car was a bad idea, is expected to make a full recovery. ___ Information from: Bangor Daily News, http://www.bangornews.com/ |
