Quarterback Connor Farotte will put on a football uniform Friday for the first time since suffering a severe concussion that left him unconscious for nearly 10 hours on Sept. 28.
No doubt, there are some who are questioning the recent Palma graduate's decision to play in the Salinas Jaycees East-West high school all-star football game.
Bleeding and swelling of the brain is a serious matter, life-threatening. Farotte survived. But what happens if he takes another blow to the head?
Maybe nothing.
But the risk of a recurrence is greater for Farotte than you or I.
Farotte talks about his reasons in full detail in Tuesday's Herald.
