We will provide more information as it becomes available.
In his conference call, Vincent added: ”Emotions you can imagine in both locker rooms, and I commend both of those coaches. Tough situation to go back in and look at 53 men in the locker room and not that they asked but just to try and calm people down. It was obvious on the phone with them that the emotions were extremely high. It was a very volatile situation, and I thought the coaches, they led tonight. They led their locker rooms.
“The family is in good spirits, we're just taking it minute by minute, hour by hour,” he said. “His family is strong, supportive. Obviously, they are worried. Damar is very close with his family.”: “We have no concrete updates right now, last night they administered CPR on the field and got his vitals to a stable position. I’m not sure on the exact medical term, but he is sedated. He is intubated and I’m not sure if that is the same as an induced coma.
