“The ball was constantly going toward me,” the former South Gwinnett High School wide receiver said.

It was possibly going to be a career game for the troubled teenager, whose primary outlet was football. He might have been on fire, but the Comets were down in the fourth quarter and Crane wanted to score. That’s why Crane didn’t fall down easily when he caught a pass near the sideline about 15 feet from his coach, David Anderson. That and a mix of bad luck were why the game on Sept. 20, 2007, was Crane’s last. The game never actually finished.

After catching a ball and stretching for a first down, Crane was hit and knocked out. He described a tingling sensation all over his body as he went in and out of consciousness. Crane had been paralyzed on the play, and his football career was over.

That tragic night changed Crane’s life — a story he shares during his many speaking engagements. With the speeches, it seems Crane has found his calling. On Thursday, he spoke to several groups of Dacula Middle School language arts classes in the media center about adversity and resiliency.

His message goes hand-in-hand with the themes of materials that Dacula eighth-graders are learning in class.
