La Jolla High Football Coaches Point Fingers After Student’s Brain Injury

...An assistant coach for
the La Jolla High School football team denies that he insisted a
17-year-old player stay in a game after the student asked to be removed.
The player now has a devastating brain injury that ended his playing
days and threatens to derail his schooling. The assistant coach was
suspended.
...The student has only
been back to school one day and he could not make it through the entire
day. He faces chronic migraines, sensitivity to light and must be
constantly supervised.
It’s been more than three months since a 17-year-old football
player at La Jolla High School suffered a concussion during a game and
he has not been back at school for a full day since then...
Regardless, state athletic rules mandate training for all coaches to
identify possible head injuries. Players have to be immediately removed
from a game after any suspected concussion and they are only allowed
back after a medical professional provides written clearance for them to
return...
