Overby messed up his shoulder in the Christian County Inv. finals against his NW kid he had to forefit the match. Flynn messed something up during his match with Houston Croney Chr Co at Chrisitan County Inv. and I heard a rumor that Agnew hurt something with his leg during practice.

FYI.  MRSA is a type of staph infection that is resistant to normal antibiotic therapy.  As your friend who currently has an infection can attest, this is a very painful infection in some instances and if it is truly a case of MRSA it could be potentially life threatening.    The bottom line on staph is that if someone on your team has an infection it is very important that they have it diagnosed and treated properly so that they don't hurt themselves or others.  Regionals are still a few weeks away and there is time to heal.I found this helpful information on the internet concerning staph infections and their prevention.

Recently, cases of skin infections caused by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been identified in the community. While most cases have involved athletes, cases involving non-athletes have also occurred. Skin infections such as abscesses and boils are the most common form of this infection.  The infected area usually starts out as a small bump resembling a pimple or spider bite, which becomes redder and often develops pus drainage. The information below provides some general information about these types of infections and what people can do to help prevent and control the spread of MRSA in the community setting. 

In addition, athletes who participate in sports involving direct physical contact (e.g. wrestling and football) and athletes participating in sports that do not involve direct physical contact, but who share workout areas should follow these health and hygiene practices listed below to help prevent and control MRSA within the athletic setting:

Wash hands frequently with soap and water, especially after using any sports facilities.

Avoid sharing personal items (e.g., towels, washcloths, razors, clothing, or uniforms) that may have had contact with and infected individual or potentially infectious material.

Report any suspicious skin sore or boil to your healthcare provider and school nurse immediately.

If you participate in sports involving close personal contact (e.g. wrestling and football) shower with soap immediately after each practice, game, or match.

Non-washable gear (e.g. head protectors), should be wiped down with alcohol after each use.

Athletic equipment such as wrestling or gymnastics mats should be wiped down regularly with an antibacterial solution (e.g. Hibiclens).

Athletes involved in close contact sports should receive a total body check by the appropriate athletic personnel prior to any game, match or tournament.

Individuals with an infection involving drainage (e.g. pus drainage), who are involved in close contact sports, should be excluded from participation in sporting events and practices until no pus drainage is present and the infected site can be adequately covered with a bandage and clothing.

Any cut or break in the skin should be washed with soap and water and a clean, dry dressing applied on a daily basis, before and after participation in close contact sports, and after using any sports facilities.

Tell your healthcare provider (e.g. primary care doctor or school nurse) and the appropriate athletic personnel if you currently have or have had a history of an antibiotic-resistant Staph skin infection(s).

Hope this might be helpful to some.
