All we do in football (at least at the HS level) is take out players based on the symptoms stated in the guidelines. Football has a lot more heavy collisions and it is often more obvious when players are hurt. And even many contact is not always head related. All we can do is observe behavior and some of the symptoms of concussions are also heat related conditions. After a Health Care Professional sees them, we allow them to tell us if the player is allowed to play. Who that persons are, is up to the IHSA and the school. The IHSA follows up on if state procedures and laws are followed.
