1. It looks like a dive. Those batons are thin aluminum and probably couldn't even leave a bruise. Not like she was carrying a lead pipe. So probably a faked concussion and definitely no fracture.

2. We don't know what she said to the assailant leading up to that. If you run your mouth to the wrong person you might get smacked. Believe that.

I take offense to the words you said in this post. Can’t wait to bash you in the head with a metal pipe when I see you.

Great logic there, amirite?

Breaking news story from late Sunday night Mar 9, 2025:

Description: "Alaila Everett, a track star and senior at I.C. Norcom High School, is speaking out following shocking footage where she struck an opponent in the head with her baton and allegedly injured her during a relay race."

The strike was ACCIDENTAL, Alaila claims on camera in tears. She was trying to maintain her balance and resume pumping her arms after her competitor cut in in front of her on the curve, without even a full stride between them.

In the race video, you see apparent concern/remorse from Alaila after her competitor steps off the track while gripping her head. And in the interview, her explanation seems contrite.

The crying, the caked on make up, the fire alarm beeping. That 5 second clip has it all.

The smoke detector chirping from a low battery at around 1:01 into the interview made me laugh. I’m surprised they didn’t reshoot that part of the interview within the chirp noise.

Criminal is not a lawsuit. That will be brought by the DA. I hope she gets 6 months.

She apologized. Looks like she meant it. Good enough for me.

An apology doesn’t fix a fking skull fracture.
