Boy Faces Possible Paralysis After Pop Warner Football Injury

Boy Faces Possible Paralysis After Pop Warner Football Injury 5:48 a.m. PST, November 8, 2011MISSION VIEJO, Calif. (KTLA) -- A 13-year-old boy is facing possible paralysis from a spinal injury suffered during a Pop Warner football game.

Donnovan Hill fractured his spine on Sunday during the Midget Orange Bowl championship game.

Hill is the running back for the Lakewood Lancers.
Witnesses say Hill dropped to the ground after hitting his head while trying to block a play.

His mother says he is trying to be strong, and they are praying that the surgeons at Mission Hospital can repair the injury.

Family and friends will gather Tuesday night for a special prayer vigil at Mae Boyer Park.

If you would like to help the Hill family, donations can be sent to the Orange Empire Conference, in care of Donnovan Hill:

Orange Empire Conference c/o Donnovan Hill PO Box 7652 Huntington Beach, CA 92615

All of Southern California youth football should be pulling for young Donnovan Hill and his family.

But OEC collecting donations on this young man's behalf is a second tragedy. Hopefully, someone else establishes a charitable fund for this brave young man's family.
