KUNA PLAYER INJURED (as reported by KTVB.com)

Friday’s game at Bishop Kelly was stopped for nearly 30 minutes in the first quarter when Kuna junior receiver Boone Bartlome suffered an apparently serious injury while blocking during a running play.

Bartlome was down on the grass for several minutes while medical personnel attended to him. He eventually was placed on a stretcher and lifted into an ambulance on the field. As the emergency vehicle drove away, the teams came together and knelt in prayer at midfield. Players and coaches from both teams grasped hands and bowed their heads in an emotional on-field moment led by Kuna coach Lee Leslie

Less than a month later tragedy struck again. The city Nampa and Kuna suffered the loss of 11-year-old Daniel Robert Cook while en-route to elementary school.

As if it could not get worse, less than a month later the city finds itself praying for yet another Kuna Football Player.
