Red Jacket sophomore captain Ryan Jennings did just what he was told to do, a very common thing in close games.
His team was trailing DeSales by two points after Jennings had dropped a 3-pointer with seconds left to play when coach Matt Nolan told his team to foul.
Jennings fouled the player receiving the inbounds pass but took a shot to his head with an elbow, knocking him out.
"Every time he sat up he kept passing back out, his father Todd told Alex Bauer of the Messsanger Post.
Jennings was taken to the hospital where he received a CAT scan that showed he had a brain aneurysm. Without the elbow to the head, Jennings would not have known about the problem and would not be getting treatment for it.
