A young high school football star has tragically died after suffering a fatal head injury in a scrimmage last week.
Andrew Dodson, a high school varsity football player, went down with a brain injury during a routine tackle in an intrasquad practice. The young tight end and defensive end was finishing his junior year at Pulaski County High School in Somerset, Kentucky.
His father, Alan Dodson, insisted his son was running the ball in the Pulaski County varsity spring Maroon and White game on Friday. He was tackled by a team-mate and it appeared to be a fairly standard tackle, but the way Dodson hit the ground was alarming.
