Coach, it's only a broken bone

Some players just have to play in today's game

SALISBURY -- Salisbury University junior left tackle Josh Berman was in tears earlier this week when he wasn't cleared to practice because of a hand injury. Today's game against Wesley was so important to him that he went out and got a cast and doctor's clearance to play.

"He said if the doctor cleared him to play he wouldn't miss this game for anything in the world," SU coach Sherman Wood said. "I can't take that away from him. As long as it is OK with the doctor and his parents, I'm OK. He is going to suit up, let the officials check his cast, and take it from there. That says a lot for the kids. They want to play. They want to be a part of it. These kids are not going to miss this game. All of a sudden they are all healthy."
