Several football players were injured during an unsanctioned practice without pads on January 31st
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. "Coach told the other players no one was tackling me and they needed to do better. I was running to the other wall and got off a tackle from another kid and another kid grabbed from the back and picked me over his head and slammed me on my head," said Jackson Leth.
