The Sehome football team got some,  bad news this week when it found out Justin Santos will be out for the rest of the season after suffering a fracture across the top of his foot. Santos led the Northwest Conference in rushing last season and had collected 166 yards this year before getting injury. Also a standout wrestler, his status for the wrestling season isn’t known at this point.

I also heard from Bellingham athletic director Brian Smith that senior Hunter Elliott escaped a scary collision on Saturday during the Red Raiders’ game against Lynden without a serious spinal injury. Elliott left the game on a backboard in the back of an ambulance after trying to make a tackle covering a kick. Smith said Elliott has a concussion, but his MRI test results did not show any spinal injury.

It was a scary 20 minutes at Civic Stadium on Saturday while Elliott was on the ground waiting for an ambulance to arrive. It sounds like he’ll be OK, and that’s good news.
