Greenway, Vikings host 9-year-old Recovering from Wreck
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Last weekend will be tough to follow-up for Harley Carnes.The 9-year-old from Hutchinson set the bar that high.
Harley suffered severe injuries this spring in a car accident in Florida. He was paralyzed below the neck, but has been undergoing physical therapy and has kept an incredibly positive and creative spirit.
Harley delivered a pre-game pep talk to the Hutchinson Tigers football team, who rallied from a 10-point deficit at halftime for a 25-10 win against Delano.
Harley told the team, “They didn’t even think I was going to live and I lived, and they said even if I did live, I wouldn’t have my brain, and my brain has improved a bit.”
