The Grapevine High School varsity football team has no concussions for the team’s 2018 season.

Mike Alexander, the school’s head football coach, said it is uncommon for a varsity team playing three rounds deep in the playoffs, as the GHS team did this season, to report zero concussions. He credited this in part to a $25,000 donation from Classic Chevrolet for Riddell SpeedFlex helmets to the varsity team.

“All of those kids wearing those new helmets were concussion-free,” Alexander said. “That’s a huge win for Grapevine High School. It’s a win for football.”

This donation came on the heels of new University Interscholastic League rules that changed how coaches teach tackling to protect against concussions.

Alexander is also involved with a two-year plan to raise $30,000 to provide all the Grapevine High School football players with these helmets.

The booster club is accepting donations to help raise money for this mission.
