FLORIDA PERSONAL INJURY BLOG: 16 Year Old Cheerleader In Serious Condition Following Powder Puff Football Game

Powder Puff football games are supposed to be a fun role-reversal where the cheerleaders take the field and the football players don pom-poms. Unfortunately one such event in Brooksville, Florida turned tragic Monday night. According to a story on TBO.com, Hernando County Fire Rescue reported a 16-year-old cheerleader was seriously injured during the football game and was rushed via helicopter to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg.

The girl is a student at Nature Coast High School and she apparently collided with another girl and suffered what is being characterized as a serious head injury. The fire department was called at 8:25 p.m. and reported that the girl was unresponsive. It is unknown if the girls were wearing any protective equipment or if they were playing tackle or touch football.
