Greg Reid gets run out of bounds during the Lowndes County High School Vikings' 14-7 win against the Valdosta Wildcats in the Winnersville Classic on Friday, October 10, 2008 at Cleveland Field at Bazemore-Hyder Stadium in Valdosta, Ga. <br />
<br />
Valdosta High defensive back Johnathan Mitchell was injured in a sideline collision with a band prop on the play. The junior cornerback  collided with a cameraman along the sideline, then crashed into a fence.<br />
<br />
Mitchell lay almost motionless for 25 minutes, as team trainers, then emergency medical staff, attended to him, and workers tried to remove his facemask, which had gotten stuck in the fence. Eventually, he was placed on a stretcher, then taken away in an ambulance to South Georgia Medical Center.<br />
<br />
Mitchell spent Friday and Saturday night in the hospital with a bruised spinal cord. He had movement in both of his legs and his arms, but was still kept at SGMC as a precaution.
