Getting hit in the neck

goMO100+ posts

My son, a '09 grad, has now taken two foul tips off the side of his neck. Both times he fell to the ground and the game was stopped. He wears a Rawlings hockey style mask.
I'm worried that if he takes one straight to the adam's apple, then he could be in big trouble. It does seem like the side of the neck is exposed a bit, but it looks like that with most helmets.

Any advice or comments on why this may be happening? I don't have it on video, so I can't take a look to see if he is turning or lifting his head. I don't think he is, but I'm not sure.

It sure is scary for a minute..
