Gerry Glasco offers update after Texas Tech softball players were injured in jet ski accident - Dallas News
Texas Tech softball coach Gerry Glasco posted an optimistic update Friday after three of his players were injured in a jet ski accident at Lake Ransom Canyon last Thursday. The accident happened at the lake about 14 miles southeast of campus.
The accident happened at the lake about 14 miles southeast of campus. Glasco took to Twitter/X to share the news, writing "Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers! Glad everyone is okay and recovering well!" No additional details about the nature or severity of the injuries were included in his post.
Lake Ransom Canyon is a popular spot for Tech students and locals looking to get off the South Plains for a few hours, so the accident drew attention from fans and folks in Lubbock who follow the program closely.
The update, while brief, was reassuring. Three players being hurt at once in an off-season incident is the kind of thing that can rattle a program. Glasco's tone suggested the recovery is trending in the right direction, without spelling out a timeline or any specifics about who was injured.
Texas Tech softball has not released any formal statement beyond the coach's social media post, so the full picture of what happened on the water that Thursday remains unclear.
