Description
Shelton High School parents and an attorney said in a span of 30 minutes, at least five students were injured during an unplanned football drill at the direction of the head football coach and other coaching staff.
Students who play football for Shelton High School and their parents detailed to KING 5 what happened on Jan. 31.
They said football coaches came into a weightlifting class and took the students to a wrestling room to practice a new tackling drill without pads or helmets.
"I was trusting my coach and as it kept going it got worse and worse and more aggressive and I thought it was unsafe," said Masyn Gard, a player at Shelton High School.
