Frankamp looked to finish a fastbreak, started by his steal, with a dunk. As he elevated at the rim, though, he was fouled by Scott Citys Austin Habiger. Frankamp tried to finish, but he was off balance, the ball hit the rim and he fell face first to the court.
The game was delayed for about 10 minutes as an athletic trainer tried to stop the bleeding from a cut on his left temple. Frankamp was wheeled off the court in an office chair and didnt return, missing the final 18 minutes, 21 seconds of Norths 67-63 overtime win.
After the game, Frankamp went to Western Plains Medical Center to get stitches. He was diagnosed with a concussion and will not play in Saturdays title game against Shawnee Mission South.
I thought he was going to get right up, said his dad, Marty Frankamp, also a North assistant. Then he realized he was bleeding pretty good. He was just really scared. He was a little bit dizzy.
Scott City coach Glenn ONeil said Frankamp stepped on Habigers foot, noting a tear on the top of Habigers shoe.
Its terribly unfortunate, ONeil said. We came down here to play against him, not to see an injury. For a great player, you never want to see that happen.
