John Combs Buchanan, the starting senior linebacker for Mason County High School, planned to continue his football career in college until mid-October when neurologists told him he could never play again after his second level two concussion. Football has been a huge part of Combs life from a young age: His father, David Buchanan, the coach of his high school team; his sister, Emma, a cheerleader; his younger brother, Trosper, a water boy; and his mom, aunt and grandparents are his biggest fans. "He has a lot of other interests, which makes this easier. So many kids, their whole life is football. He is devastated, but he has other things going on; it's all in God's hand," said John Comb's mom, Stephanie.
