15-year-old Colton Mims was crushed under the full weight of a much larger opposing player, leaving fans and his family in disbelief.

The devastating play during a junior varsity matchup between

Lakeshore and Kalamazoo Central has left Colton sidelined for the season, and possibly longer.

“I’ve never felt anything like it”

Video of the incident quickly circulated online, showing the larger Lakeshore player landing on Colton not once, but twice, after a tackle.

Spectators gasped as the teen was carried off the field, leaving his mother, Courtney Mims, shaken.

“As soon as it clicked that it was my son, I couldn’t be stopped.

I had to go down there,” she told WSBT. “I’ve never felt anything like it. I’ve never been as upset or shaken up as I was over something for my son.”

Colton was rushed to the hospital, where doctors confirmed he had suffered two spinal fractures.

He was prescribed muscle relaxers and is now being closely monitored to determine whether he can ever safely return to football.

“He’s out at least for this season. We don’t know if he’s going to be able to play again… These boys are high school boys. They’re 15 years old. The game means a lot to them,” Courtney said. “It’s their whole life right now… and for somebody to try to take that from someone doing so much is awful for me to see.”

“It’s unacceptable,” she told MLive. “My kid could have been paralyzed easily. He can barely walk right now and I don’t know if he can ever play football again. It’s his whole life right now and it’s just sad.”
