When his senior season started in August, certainly Cam Thompson had a lot more planned than one play in a lacrosse game. He was thinking about leading Orange to a conference championship. But Thompson suffered a traumatic brain injury on September 14 following a severe long boarding accident. He had five skull fractures, two concussions and brain contusions. On Thursday night, Thompson suited up for the Orange lacrosse team for the opening faceoff against crosstown rival Cedar Ridge, along with classmate Jeremy Carter, who is also out for the season due to repeated concussions. Thompson and Carter concluded their high school careers for good, leaving the field side-by-side following the opening faceoff. Orange would go on to defeat Cedar Ridge 12-10.
