JERRY CITY - Aaron Arnold went up to catch a pass last August, just like he had hundreds of other times.
And just like normal, the Elmwood receiver was tackled on the play.
Only this time, he hit the ground hard and thought he had a cramp in the calf muscle of his left leg.
He tried to walk it off and stretch it out, but it never felt right. He couldn't put pressure on the leg later that evening, eventually hopped up the stairs to bed and still felt excruciating pain the next morning.
Arnold drove to practice to see trainer Mike Messaros the next morning, and the 6-foot-5, 190-pounder was in emergency surgery only 22 hours after the injury.
He was diagnosed with Compartment Syndrome which, according to medical websites, hinders blood flow to a muscle, usually the result of swelling or bleeding.
The injury, suffered Aug. 7, was so severe he was expected to miss the entire football season and was told he would be "lucky" to be healthy for basketball.
But the junior three-sport athlete healed quickly, worked hard to return and missed only four football games.
