Longview's King, "D'Mio has a chance, he's a fighter."
Longview football player D'Mio Ingram remains in intensive care at Longview Regional Medical Center.
Ingram, a junior, suffered a spinal cord injury during practice on Thursday afternoon, but according to Lobos head football coach John King, D'Mio has shown some slight movement, "D'Mio has a chance, he's a fighter, and he's had some movement, but at the same time, he has a long way to go."
A special account to offset Ingram's medical bills has been setup at East Texas Professional Credit Union.
King also applauded the work of head trainer, Lee Reynolds and his staff, and a parent who was able to give D'Mio CPR after he stopped breathing after falling to the ground.
King added, "from the time D'Mio went down during practice, he received immediate medical assistance, was in an ambulance within five-minutes, and was in the hospital within ten minutes, pretty amazing response that probably saved his life."
King canceled practice on Friday, but said the Lobos might be back on the field on Monday, "it's been very traumatic for everyone involved, but we have to get back on the field, but our thoughts and prayers remain very much on D'Mio Ingram."
