Multiple high school players airlifted after injuries

A string of high school football incidents in Texas and Indiana ended with players being airlifted to hospitals after injuries during practices or scrimmages. At Lake Travis High School in Texas, a player was transported by STAR Flight to an Austin hospital during morning practice, with the district canceling the remainder of the session and praising first responders and staff. In Martinsville, Indiana, a Martinsville High School player was airlifted to an Indianapolis hospital after a scrimmage injury, with Morgan County EMS thanking the school staff for directing medics and noting the student later rested comfortably at home. A separate Martinsville report confirmed the injury occurred during the Red-Blue scrimmage and lauded the rapid, coordinated response from school personnel and emergency services. The overarching takeaway is a demonstrated, rapid medical response and community support around high school sports injuries.
