During a Friday Night Football game between Calhoun High School and Adairsville High School, a heavy hit led to a player's hospitalization.

Isiah Nails, #9, was transported to a local hospital after a play in the second half of the game, Calhoun Schools said in a Facebook post.

After the hit, officials paused the game.

Both teams came together in the middle of the field to pray for Nails after EMTs rolled him off the field.
