OSG High: FB Player With Prosthetic Runs With His Team
((HT: Sports Mic Radio Network))
The HQ was alerted to the story of Jaque Billingsley last season while we were traversing the state checking on central Georgia's best in high school football...
He's a lineman for Northside High School in Warner Robins- just like his older brother did...
In November of 2010, Jaque decided to compete in wrestling as an Eagle...
"My leg got caught and he ended up falling on it and it snapped. I dislocated my knee. And we didn't really know what was happening," he told Macon's NBC41 that following spring.
Jaque went to the hospital and was released. But when he got home, he couldn't feel his right foot. A nerve in his leg was pinched and a blood clot formed. By the time the Billingsleys got a second opinion, gangrene had set in.
Doctors amputated his right leg just below the knee, but he is still playing and practicing. And since it's conditioning time for football season (since practice doesn't start until the 1st), the Eagles were doing their thing and Jaque was right there with them as the football program put their finishing touches on its annual Ironman Competition earlier this week.
Here's Jaque with his escort home...
Jaque wants to be the first player in the NFL playing with a prosthesis...
Go get 'em...

OSG High: Middle GA Recruit Shot In The Back
((HT: WMAZ-TV Macon))
A Northside (Warner Robins, GA) High football player is recovering at home after being shot in the back over the weekend. According to head football coach Kevin Kinsler, 18-year-old Austin Roberts was taken to the Medical Center of Central Georgia for treatment and was released.
“Somebody started shooting, and everyone scattered. (Roberts) just happened to get hit in the back,” Kinsler told the Macon Telegraph.
Roberts was a Macon Telegraph All-Middle Georgia selection for the 2011 season. He was a preseason All-Middle Georgia selection in 2012. Kinsler says Roberts is a highly recruited defensive end. Right now, Roberts holds a Mississippi State offer and impressed over the summer at a camp at the University of Miami.
