Lakishama Lewis alleges that her 14-year-old grandson, KaDren Lewis, was beaten down at a playoff game in their own hometown.
He had blunt force trauma to the head, fractures to the facial bones, nasal cavities & eye sockets.
High school sports are meant to be a highlight of student life where they get a chance to build teamwork, school spirit, and healthy habits.
However, sometimes the heat of competition boils over, and fights break out on the field or in the stands.
These clashes often start from a single moment, and within a short moment, emotions can take over, leading to shoving, yelling, and punches.
The consequences are severe, leading to suspension and letting their team down. Most importantly, students can be physically and emotionally harmed.
Players must respect the game, the officials, and their opponents. Coaches and parents play a huge role by modeling good sportsmanship and calming players down instead of fueling their anger.
