LITTLE ROCK — FOOTBALL
Towers to be released
Star City senior linebacker Zack Towers is scheduled to be released from Arkansas Children’s Hospital on Wednesday, according to a tweet from his older brother, Ty Towers.
Zack Towers has been hospitalized since leaving the Bulldogs’ Nov. 1 regular-season finale against Crossett with a head injury.
“Zack is doing well,” Ty Towers wrote on his Twitter page. “Still in a coma but making baby steps everyday!”
Towers underwent brain surgery at Jefferson Regional Medical Center in Pine Bluff before being moved to Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock on Nov. 4. He spent much of November in critical or serious condition before he began making improvement.
Ty Towers is a quarterback at Ouachita Baptist.
