ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – An apparent concussion and state law didn’t stop a New Mexico high school football player from playing in his state championship game. His family fought the law in court, and got a judge to let him play.
New Mexico law regarding school athlete head injury and safety protocols state a student athlete with a concussion may return to the game after sitting out for no less than a week.
Because of that law, a star running back was told he wouldn’t get to play in his school’s championship game. That didn’t sit well with him, and he took his case all the way to court.
