Lady Raider star Amber Battle is expected to have surgery after she was hit in the face by an incoming Tech football player following an incident Saturday at Texas Tech’s recreation center, the Avalanche-Journal has learned.

During a basketball game, freshman cornerback Nigel Bethel II reportedly punched Battle in the face, breaking a bone, the A-J has learned.

Blayne Beal, a Tech spokesman, confirmed there was an incident between two student athletes Saturday afternoon at the recreation center. Beal said campus officials are gathering information from both parties.

Tech women’s basketball coach Candi Whitaker said she was unable to comment Saturday evening.

Lady Raider star Amber Battle is expected to have surgery after she was hit in the face by an incoming Tech football player following an incident Saturday at Texas Tech’s recreation center, the Avalanche-Journal has learned.

During a basketball game, freshman cornerback Nigel Bethel II reportedly punched Battle in the face, breaking a bone, the A-J has learned.

Blayne Beal, a Tech spokesman, confirmed there was an incident between two student athletes Saturday afternoon at the recreation center. Beal said campus officials are gathering information from both parties.

Tech women’s basketball coach Candi Whitaker said she was unable to comment Saturday evening.

Following the incident, Battle posted to Twitter, “Pray for me y’all.” She later posted, “Thank y’all for the calls, texts and visits.”

From a Lubbock location Saturday evening, a Twitter account under the name Nigel Bethel II had a post that said, “Trouble always seems to find me ... ”

Tech spokesman Chris Cook said a police report was not complete as of Saturday evening as the investigation is still ongoing.

“(It) likely won’t be ready before Monday,” he said.

Battle was the Lady Raiders’ leading scorer last season, averaging 16.4 points per game. She also averaged a team-high 7.4 rebounds. She’s a 5 foot, 9 inch guard from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and has one year of eligibility remaining.

Bethel is a 5-9 cornerback from Miami, Florida, Booker T. Washington High School. He signed with Tech in February and is one of the team’s more highly regarded freshmen.

Hope they kick his dumb@ss out. This isn't one of the regular student body, who can be nameless...lol, this is the Leading Scorer on the women's bball team...I wouldn't have it, what kind of message would you be sending by keeping him?
 
I'm curious to see how this pans out, if true he needs his @ss swipe smdh, I wonder how the older players on tech football will handle it, being in the middle of nowhere probably has him losing his mind.

Even though we lack signing dbs I was so happy he decommited. He is going to get demolished in the big 12. With those big recievers and he was so overrated. I wouldn't wish this is nobody but he had to pay the consequences.

She probably schooled his *** on the court and he took exception. Those lady red raiders talk mad **** lmao.
 
he did not de-commit from us because he didn't want to be here.. he got the hint out program wasn't that interested and he wanted to get some playing time.. don't hate on the kid.



now for punching a girl in the face....unless she had 45 pointed at his head...this kid will end up at FAU if he is lucky
 
Might end up the Willie Williams route....vanishing into obscurity at Jucos and Div III.

What a mess for this young kid. Who was that DB who stole laptops a few years ago at UM? What's happened to him?

Remember Adrian Wilson, the big DT who pushed his girlfried down the stairs, or something along those lines? Where's he now?
