After falling almost 30 feet from an electrical pole, a high school quarterback is ready to return the field.
PUBLISHED 8:09 PM CDT Aug. 11, 2023NEW BRAUNFELS — On Nov. 3 last year, Leighton Adams was leading New Braunfels High School to a win over Converse Judson in the final regular season football game of the year. The junior QB tossed three touchdowns passes that night to help the Unicorns pick up the win and build momentum, heading toward the playoffs that started the following week.
So Adams, who’s always been adventurous, did just that. He climbed up an electrical pole that was just outside the basketball gym at New Braunfels Christian Academy. “When I got back to the back of the gym where the pole is, I saw Cole over Leighton and could hear Leighton making just these guttural, groaning sounds,” says Jennifer Adams, Leighton’s mother.
“I remember thinking, God we have got to have your help right here,” says Jennifer. “I don’t know if this is the last we’re seeing this son of ours alive.” Not only did Leighton survive, but a few months after the accident, he’s pretty much back to normal. He’s able to be active and adventurous again and he’s able to play his senior football season.
