Texas' Coody twins to miss time after breaking their arms in freak accident

Texas will begin its spring season without two of its starters because of a freak accident.

Seniors Pierceson Coody and Parker Coody are expected to miss at least one tournament after both suffered fractures to their right arms during a post-workout relay race earlier this month.

"All we cared about was winning the race, and we took it a little too far," Pierceson told GolfChannel.com on Tuesday. "It was just a freak accident."

The Coody twins, the race's anchors, were neck and neck as they sped down the turf at Texas' indoor Athletic Performance Center. After lunging across the finish line, the Coodys simultaneously slammed into the padded cement wall, their outstretched arms absorbing the brunt of the impact.
