The head coach of the Mid-Plains Community College rodeo team is recovering after being injured by a horse.
According to a statement from the college, MPCC head rodeo coach Garrett Nokes sustained a head injury from a horse after returning to his home after rodeo practice on the evening of January 28.
Nokes was taken to the McCook Community Hospital and then life-flighted to Kearney where he underwent surgery to treat his head injury.
Garrett is continuing his recovery in Kearney. He was moved to acute rehab yesterday.
“Garrett is a great ambassador for MPCC and the Rodeo Team,” said President Ryan Purdy. “We ask that everyone continue to keep the Nokes family in their thoughts and prayers during this time.”
