BATON ROUGE, La. — A Louisiana high school football player had to be airlifted after being seriously injured in a game Thursday night.
According to WBRZ-TV in Baton Rouge, Riverside Academy's Kayon Brumfield had to be flown from Mumford Stadium during the school's game against Southern Lab.
School officials told WBRZ that Brumfield was injured during the game and suffered a "concussion-like" head injury, but was expected to be okay.
