VACAVILLE, Calif. — A Vacaville high school football player is still recovering from a serious injury he endured in a game Friday night.
Jack Worthan of Vacaville Christian High School suffered a brutal hit that ultimately caused bleeding on his brain. He was initially taken to intensive care at Kaiser Permanente, however, he has since transitioned to the main floor.
Several of his friends and teammates have visited him in the hospital all weekend to offer support. It is not clear how much longer Worthan will be in the hospital, or how extensive his recovery will be.
