- In Jacksonville, Arkansas, 12-year-old Frederick Engram has returned to playing flag football after suffering a rare spinal cord stroke this past spring.
- During a spring football game, Engram felt abdominal pain he initially mistook for an asthma attack, prompting a school nurse to identify a medical emergency.
- A hospital visit confirmed Engram suffered a spinal cord stroke, a rare condition where blood supply disruption damages spinal cord tissues, leaving him fearing paralysis.

- Engram is currently playing flag football until he makes a full recovery, with his mother expecting him to return to regular tackle football next year.
