During a junior varsity game between Kalamazoo Central and Lakeshore, a player from Kalamazoo Central was filmed slamming the entire weight of his body into Colton Mims.

The Michigan high school athlete’s spine was fractured when the boy twice his size leaped up and flattened him.

The moment went down after a play was finished when the larger kid decided he was going to do something disgusting to hurt his opponent. Footage taken by fans in the stands shows a Lakeshore player tackling the 15-year-old Kalamazoo Central player as the two teams tussled.

Following the body slam, Colton was carted off the field and taken to the hospital.

The 15-year-old was treated for two fractures in his spine and placed on muscle relaxers and has since been released to his mother, Courtney Mims.

Lakeshore student-athlete Colton Mims has suffered multiple spine fractures and may never be able to play football again because of the incident.

Courtney Mims, the mother of the Lakeshore player, told local station WSBT that she has “never felt anything like it.

“I’ve never been as upset or shaken up as I was over something for my son,” she said.

“These boys are high school boys. They’re 15 years old. The game means a lot to them. It’s their whole life right now. For somebody to try to take that from somebody doing so much is awful for me to see.”

Courtney Mims also revealed she was present when the incident occurred and made it clear nobody was going to stop her from reaching her son.

‘As soon as it clicked that it was, I couldn’t be stopped. I had to go down there. I’ve never felt anything like it. I’ve never been as upset or shaken up as I was over something for my son,’ she told the station on Friday.

Colton Mims is just 15 years old and may never get to realize his dreams due to this incident.

Courtney Mims further shared an update on Facebook, saying, “Colton is hopped up on muscle relaxers and feeling okay- believed to be slight fracture on spine- hopefully results back from CT scan soon. Thank you for continued thoughts, prayers & shares.”

Doctors are trying to determine if he can ever play again.

The respective schools and Michigan High School Athletic Association are trying to resolve “this issue internally.”

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
