ORANGEBURG – Great Falls quarterback Gaither Bumgardner winced as he pulled off his pads following Friday’s Division II-A state title game.
The shoulder injury that took him out of the game in the fourth quarter no doubt hurt, but it couldn’t match the emotional sting Bumgardner felt.
“I felt like I let my team down,” Bumgardner said. “Win or lose, I wanted to be out there with my team. We’ve been through so much that those guys feel like my family. Not being out there with them hurt worse than anything.”
