Troup High School football player ‘continues to heal’ from head injury during game

TROUP, Texas (KLTV) - Troup ISD Tigers football player #22, Cooper Reid, “continues to heal” after an injury at a football game Friday night.

Cooper suffered a serious head injury during the homecoming game against Buffalo.

UPDATE: On Tuesday, an MRI showed that Cooper suffered a stroke, which is a setback for his recovery according to a post in the Facebook group dedicated to prayers and updates. The post indicates doctors will begin to decrease sedation soon and start neurological testing, asking the community to “pray for calmness for Cooper has he comes out of such a deep sleep.”

Previously, school officials said recent CAT scans showed no change, which Cooper’s family said was positive news. They are praying for decreased pressure on his brain.
