Jack Long, ’27 LB/Rover is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week @CountyColonels, @HopHighTigers, @KatherineL58069, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball,
Jack Long is a kid we weren’t sure would get cleared to play the coming season. As it turns out, he got cleared by provided he wears a helmet specifically designed to avoid head trauma, limit his contact through the week, and be permitted to wear a concussion cap during KHSAA games. As it turns out, Jack’s rejoining the team was important for reasons other than football. One of Jack’s coaches suffered a medical incident related to his exertion in the heat and other medical issues he was suffering at the time and Jack, mid-scrimmaging, was observant enough to notice it and call attention to it. The early detection may have made all the difference in the world.
