In this week’s episode, we’re talking to Stephen Wagner, who is a sports reporter for the Sun-News. We’re talking about Abe Romero, a middle-linebacker for Organ Mountain High School who was tragically injured after sustaining a hit Friday, Aug. 26, during his football team's 28-7 victory over Deming.
Romero sustained a hit in the second quarter that appeared minor; he got up and played a couple more downs before collapsing on the field. He was immediately taken by ambulance to Mimbres Memorial Hospital in Deming, where a medevac helicopter transferred him to a trauma center in El Paso.
The entire team took a knee on the field as the helicopter passed over the field. Since then, it’s been touch-and-go for Romero. He’s undergone multiple surgeries, and as of Friday, Sept. 2, he was still in the ICU. His prognosis remains unclear.
Stephen was kind enough to join us this week to discuss his coverage of Abe’s story — and how the Las Cruces football community has come together to support Abe’s family.
