Stanford recruit trampled, paralyzed
Joe Kay, a Stanford volleyball recruit and a basketball player at Tucson High School in Arizona, was left partially paralyzed after being trampled when about 200 fans rushed the court to celebrate a basketball victory Friday night.
Kay, 18, had a stroke. Doctors believe his neck was twisted in a manner that tore his left cartoid artery, leaving him speechless with his right side paralyzed. He remained in critical condition Tuesday at University Medical Center in Tucson and his volleyball career was in jeopardy.
"We're not completely sure he knows the extent of what might be in front of him," said his mother, Suzanne Rabe, a law professor at the University of Arizona.
Stanford officials have assured Kay's parents that his admission will remain open for a few years and that his scholarship will be honored regardless of his ability to play.
