Injured Kuna football player shows off for Coach Pete

Boone Bartlome, the Kuna football player who broke his neck in the State quarterfinals last week had a surprise visit from Coach Pete yesterday and responded by moving his arm and shoulders—something he hadn't been able to do since shattering his C4 vertebrae. Boise State is helping with Boone's recovery effort and has extended free tickets to tomorrow's game to the entire Kuna football team and their families, and will have a tribute to Boone during the game. Here's to a full recovery, Boone.

ETC: This man is a HERO.
