LHS Athlete Has Possible Concussion

A sophomore at Londonderry High School who was airlifted to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston on Wednesday has a possible concussion, according to Superintendent Nate Greenberg.

The 15-year-old student suffered the injury just after 4 p.m. during football practice when he landed on the side of his head. A DHART (Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advanced Response Team) Helicopter transported the athlete from the scene at the decision of an EMT on the scene.

Greenberg said that the student also has a sore neck, but he was informed that he will be released from the hospital today.

We are thankful it was not anything of a more serious nature," said Greenberg. "The school staff (and) EMTs did all of the right things, being very cautious and taking preventive measures."

Greenberg said the district received the status of the injury on Wednesday night.
