Take it easy out there, fellas. It's just practice.

Paramedics look after a Sequim Wolves football player on Tuesday afternoon. Word was this was a freshman who hurt his clavicle and should be okay.

The red lights and stretcher are things no coach, player, parent, fan or reporter ever wants to see.

Reminds me of the WSU-Hawaii game I caught at Qwest Field on Saturday. A player from Hawaii absolutely drilled a Cougar coming across the middle, helmet-to-chin, and rightfully got called for it.

Later in the game, a similar circumstance, but it was pads to chest, and rightfully, no call.

It had my wife in fits. "I'm glad I don't have a boy playing football," she said.

Of course, she may have said that because the boy might wind up playing for WSU, and it was 35-0 Hawaii at the time...
