Telling the 17-year-old to play through the brain injury he sustained from a vicious hit during a game against Danville, West High football coach Doug Husted reportedly encouraged tailback Marcus Fisher Thursday night to shake off his cognitive impairment and get back out there. Show a little backbone now, son! said Husted, who instructed Fisher to catch his breath, drink some water, and shrug off the bruises on his cerebrum. A true champion doesnt let a little blood on his brain slow him down. So suck it upI need you back out there in three plays. Sources confirmed Husted then forcefully hit the concussed 17-year-old on the back of his helmet and told him he had a game to win.
