Okolona-Coldwater called due to injury
The Okolona-Coldwater football game last Friday was called with three minutes remaining and Coldwater leading 20-14 when Okolona junior linebacker Barry Gladney suffered an undisclosed injury.
Gladney was airlifted to the North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo, where he underwent tests to determine the extent of his injury.
Okolona head coach Andrew Aldridge told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that Gladney "was going to be all right," although it appeared he may have suffered shoulder damage.
Aldridge said Gladney was briefly unresponsive on the field after getting hurt.
