Just after halftime of Indian River's football game with Woodbridge, Tim Bokinsky lined up on offense.

The ball was snapped and the all-conference wide receiver bolted across the line of scrimmage and directly into a "substantially bigger" defender from Woodbridge, hitting him with his helmet.

"I remember hitting him and blacking out, but I never fell to the ground," the 17-year-old junior said. "I know I got really dizzy and had a really bad headache and going behind the huddle and bending over because it was such an awful hit. But I didn't leave the game."

He doesn't remember much else about the Oct. 2 game.
