Siegel junior football player Jalen Moody was carted off the field on a spine board and left in an ambulance late in Friday's 69-16 loss to Oakland.

But Siegel athletic director Greg Wyant said Moody would be "OK" after the injury scare, which involved his upper body.

Wyant said a CT scan came back with good results.

The 5-9, 221-pound Moody was injured in the fourth quarter during an Oakland kickoff return for a touchdown.

There was a delay of several minutes while paramedics tended to Moody before placing him on the spine board and into the ambulance.
