"TREY'S TEAM"

In October, at halftime of a Platte Valley High School football game, sixteen-year-old Trey Johnson, a wide receiver and defensive back, sat in a hallway outside the locker room and complained that the top of his head hurt. Johnson had taken a hit to the head during the game and although it did not look like a bad hit, it lead to a concussion, a 12-day-long medically induced coma and a long road towards recovery.
