Youve heard about Young Athletes suffering head injuries on the football field. But local high schools are also pulling hundreds of girls off the field, and off the court. And as the iteams Scott Macfarlane found, its because of hard hits in sports without helmets.

I missed about a month of everything. I had to drop my a. P. Courses. Reporter she suffered, as so many other concussion victims do. Concussions are often associated with high school football, but an iteam review of injury reports from every local Public School system in the region found in each and every district female athletes suffered more than the football players. More than 1,100 girls a year combined as compared to about 960 football players. Any type of sign or symptom would mean we pull them from the game. Lets go. Lets keep it up. Reporter concussions are particularly frequent among local High School Girls who play soccer. We found more than 200 possible concussion cases regionwide in just the past year. Centers for Disease Control records show about 1 of every 30 teenage girls who play soccer suffers a head injury. Sometimes they like black out. Its really scary, honestly. Reporter ashley toy, a senior in frederick county, says she has seen it firsthand. I got kicked in the face once. Reporter our review discovered hundreds of local field hockey players pulled for potential head injuries and dozens in fairfax and Montgomery County. Each local School District surveyed by the iteam says it has a concussion protocol for its athletes. The kid is only allowed to return to the field after being checked by a medical professional. But we found one local School System in particular pulling a much larger percentage out of the game. If there is any sign or system were taking them out. Reporter we compared the number of athletes, male and female, to the number of concussions. And noted at least one reported concussion last year for nearly every five athletes. Far more frequent than the other districts. Fairfax county Public Schools Athletic Director says their threshold for pulling a player off the field is low, very low. And they remain off the field for at least five days. Fairfax has a full time trainer on staff for all high schools, in part to respond to possible concussions. We checked in with all of the maryland districts and nearly all have at least one staff trainer or use private contractors to be on duty during games. Montgomery county has just significantly increased its trainer staff. It was pretty heartbreaking. Reporter to prevent teens like Amelia Harmon from losing time on the field and in the classroom.

Vj, we cant catch a break, eyeing the next storm on the way of the. Of course, we have to stay on top of it, and because its going to come really on the latter part of the weekend. But development wise, you know, amelia segal, chuck bell, will be all over this, this weekend, watching as the storm system starts to develop. Our temperatures plenty cold. Look at that, even colder than last night by around 3 to 4 degrees. Gaithersburg dropping to 27 degrees by tomorrow morning. 31 in bowie. Yeah, close to freezing. Alexandria right at the freezing mark. You folks around fairfax, 28. 29 degrees by tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, fauquier county, culpeper, rappahannock, and manassas down to 27. 27 also in leesburg. You get the idea, another cold start for us. Exercise impact for saturday, going up into the mid 40s. So heres what i like about tomorrow. We are going to have some sunshine across the area. So even though were talking about january type temperatures, well get the sunshine. Your breezy conditions first half of the day. We lose the wind, so that 43, 45 feeling better than conditions today. Get outside and enjoy yourself. Especially first half of the weekend. Heres a look at la plata, 34 degrees. Around areas like olney, 41 for a High Temperature tomorrow. Again, that comes with just a few clouds during the afternoon. Your future weather, the next system that we will start eyeing. You can see the clouds increasing throughout the area on sunday. Second half of the weekend. I think in terms of any light snow, that will stay well up to our north and west around frostburg, morgantown. Some of the high spots there, elkins and north of petersburg. No issues here. What were talking about is what happens after 7 00. As we get into wee hours of monday morning. Its a new system bringing rain. This is 6 00 a. M. Monday now, an overcast sky. Rain develops. What we get, though, throughout the area monday, monday evening, the evening rush, all depends on the intensity and track of this system. And with more on that now, lets go to meteorologist doug kammerer. Veronica, now if that system was to move in here, we would be talking about snow across our area. Thats not going to be the case as the area of low pressure tracks west. Colder air for next week and this is the current jet stream dipping south from denver to chicago to d. C. That jet stream south of the washington, d. C. Metro area. Watch what happens as we move into the day monday. That jet stream shifts just back to the west and that allows a little bit warmer air to make its way up the coast, because of that, the rain will be to the east of the i95 corridor back to the west of the mountains. Thats where we see some snow. All of this could end as snow, even in d. C. But were not calling for accumulation. What we e c for, though, vj, is something we talked about earlier. The wind chills. And they will be colder by 10 degrees than they were today. Thats right. Its another wave of cold that moves in. So right now looks as though the early part of your monday morning rush not really impacted that much. Its the latter part were going to be watching very closely. Sunday right now, again, getting up to a High Temperature of 50 degrees. If youre going to the game, yes, youre going to need to layer up. It is going to be plenty chilly throughout, especially with the clouds moving in. Were at 45 degrees by the time we get to the evening hours. Sunshine, another chance of rain friday. But look at these numbers. Well below average all week long. Maybe even as we approach thanksgiving. We have a lot more in the system. Well time it out again on news4 at 5 00. It you plan to take metro this weekend, expect delays as crews work on upgrades. Red line trains will see the most impact running every 16 minutes. Trains between the grovener and gallaudet stations run every eight to ten minutes. Also the green belt station the green line will be closed.
