Blanton’s condition is not immediately known.
“It’s a tough one,” Trotwood-Madison head coach Jeff Graham said. “We really don’t know exactly everything that went on. We know his pulse is doing well and he’s responsive, so that’s good.”
Graham said coaches talk with the players about hydration all the time.
“I’m glad he’s OK, but I’m hoping these young men and women understand that eating proper food and hydrating your body and doing the right things go a long way in this game. You don’t want a scary moment like that,” he said.
Blanton played the entire game Friday night, apparently without any problems before he collapsed. Trotwood-Madison won the game 20-14.
