Wrestling a big fat kid from Box Elder. 273 pounds verses my 210 . . . the shoulder didn't win.

The first x-rays suggested a grade 2 separation, and I should have been better within a few weeks. When it wasn't getting better, a better doctor did a weight-bearing x-ray and saw that it was actually a grade FOUR separation and I went into surgery the next day.

The severity of BJ's injury is to be determined, but if it's a grade one or two, he should be back. Three or more will mean his season is over.

You're a big boy. I always had you pegged as a little guy.

Well, not as big as Joseph Higbee of Box Elder.
