A former Logan High School football player is speaking out after he says concerns over a back injury weren't heard by his head coach and others.
Fifteen-year-old Sione Pauni was a wide receiver and safety for the school's freshman football team last year.
After missing several days of school, Pauni says when he returned, he was met by taunts from older players on the team, as well as his head coach. "I had a herniated disc into a bulging disc, and it like I pinched my nerve and so I lost all function for a while," said Pauni.When contacted by FOX 13 News, Logan High School football coach Bart Bowen emailed and deferred comment to the Logan City School District.
