Las Vegas High School Student Suffers Second Degree Burns After Football Practice Punishment

A Las Vegas high school student suffered second-degree burns at football practice after his coach made the team do something he most likely wouldn't have done himself.

Wendy, the grandmother of a Spring Valley High School student, called into the Mike and Carla morning show on 96.3 KKLZ, to share her anger and concern. Her grandson wound up in ER, with second-degree burns, after a football practice earlier in the week.

The coach allegedly punished players on the team, and it resulted in burns and blisters. Wendy said, "Punishment shouldn’t mean blisters and burns on your hands.” She went on to say that a coach shouldn't make his team and students do something "that HE wouldn't do!"

She said that one of the coaches allegedly punished the team for wearing their knee pads incorrectly. So they were told to crab walk across 50 yards of artificial turf at 104 degrees. And when the players complained about their hands on the hot turf, they were told to crawl back on their hands and knees.

Wendy said her grandson was severely burned. “He came home with second-degree burns on his hands, they were blistered and bandaged.” He went to urgent care, where they confirmed it - second-degree burns.

Now parents want to know why on earth their kids were pushed into doing that? Wendy said she wouldn't allow her dog to walk on the hot turf these players had to crawl on.

According to KSNV, Channel 3, Las Vegas, CCSD released this statement to them:

"We are aware of reports concerning activities at a recent football practice. While we cannot discuss the individual personnel matter due to privacy law, we do take all allegations seriously, and the District is working to ensure that policies and procedures are followed with any investigations, and the parties involved have been contacted.

Due to a lack of staffing, all football practices are canceled for today, Tuesday, August 13, 2024.

We understand how important athletics are to our student-athletes and will provide updates as to when practice can resume. Thank you for your patience and understanding."

Thank you to Wendy, grandmother of the injured student, for reaching out to the Mike and Carla Morning Show. Here's hoping her grandson is ok, and that there is resolve to this situation.

Janet Jackson fans, get ready. Janet is gearing up for a new Las Vegas show.

All reports point to a December opening for a new Janet Jackson Las Vegas Residency. She is in the final stages of signing a residency deal at Resorts World, possibly ringing in the new year with a NYE performance. Knowing Las Vegas, and living here as long as I have, I'd say chances are pretty good.

It doesn't sound like it is going to be a long residency, but none of them really are anymore. Gone are the days of the years long Celine Dion, and Elton John residencies.

Some outlets are saying that Janet was recently offered a residency in London, but she turned it down because the Vegas deal was far more lucrative.

So as of now, Janet Jackson and Celine Dion will both be doing residencies at Resorts World. Celine hopefully kicking off her show in late 2024, or early 2025. She has been battling Stiff Person Syndrome for several years now, but she made an epic appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony.

Katy Perry wrapped up her Resorts World residency in November of last year (2023), and Carrie Underwood will be ending hers after her last 6 shows in 2025. She will be taking Katy Perry's place as a judge on American Idol

This isn't the first Janet Jackson Las Vegas Residency. She did her "Metamorphosis" Las Vegas residency in 2019 at Park MGM. And it looks like she's going to take "Control" of Vegas one more time. We can't wait for her return!

Here are some Janet Jackson's chart toppers, according to Billboard, that you might not have heard quite as much, and some that you did. I was a fan - I know them all.

From the Rhythm Nation album, Come Back To Me peaked at number 2 in 1990. Beautiful chord progressions that just aren't done anymore. It gives you actual feelings.

At one time Janet Jackson said that she'd love to work with Busta Rhymes. He reached out immediately, and - BOOM! The song peaked at number 3 in 1999.

You felt like you were Janet's friends when you watched this video. Such a fun 90's video and song. Before Beyonce, Rihanna, Gaga - there was Janet!

Black Cat hit number one for one week in 1990. Cant believe it was only one week, but so be it. Janet Jackson had sole writing credit on this song. And it truly was a rocker!

One of the sexiest songs of all time. That's The Way Love Goes was number one for 8 weeks in 1993. With good reason, that's for sure.

Yet another really fun JJ video. All For You spent seven weeks at number one in 2001. This whole video just worked. And the simple jeans and halters - which I wish I could've worn - were the best!

One of Janet Jackson's black and white videos. It highlights her dancing, her choreography, and yes - the fun, that so many of her videos were!
