Cleveland Wins Against Southeast Raleigh Amidst Medical Emergency
No. 11 Cleveland improved its regular season streak to 60 wins, defeating No. 21 Southeast Raleigh. The game was interrupted by a medical emergency that stopped play for over 30 minutes.
A medical emergency occurred when Cleveland player Krisjon Clark was hit by two defenders while attempting to catch a short pass with 5:39 left in the third quarter. Clark, who left the game in an ambulance, was initially unresponsive, prompting the medical team to perform compressions, according to coach Scott Riley.
"I was ready to walk away and finish this on Monday," Riley said. "They wanted to finish it tonight."
Despite the initial cardiac arrest, a defibrillator detected a faint pulse, and Clark became more alert before being taken to the hospital. Coach Riley reported that Clark was in stable condition.
