Justice Trumpler, a senior for the Austin Bowie High School football team, wound up in ICU following a heat stroke during a game on Friday night.
"Several doctors told me he was near death. He was dying just from the heat and overexertion," she told FOX 7 Austin.Norman-Wolfe said that the 17-year-old underwent a CT scan that showed brain swelling, and his heart rate even dropped into the 30s."Labs showed his kidneys were failing,, hyponatremia . And the gut punch for me was that he didn’t recognize me," she wrote.
"So freaking scary. Your mind wanders when your kid is in such a state - all the what ifs are terrible."GIANTS' SAQUON BARKLEY DOESN'T CARE FOR JETS HYPE: 'CAN’T REALLY GET TOO CAUGHT UP IN THAT' Heat exhaustion, or worse, among high school football players is not uncommon this time of year.

"These kids are passionate about their sport, but I think that we have to rethink things with this extreme weather and any sort of outdoor sports," she told FOX 7 Austin."It might have to be a big adjustment, like play games in the morning temporarily...it’s not Friday night lights…but we just have to look at it in a different way if this heat is going to continue.
