A HIGH school footballer is unconscious and fighting for his life in a hospital after he was allegedly beaten by a group of students at a party.
Cole Hagan, 16, was invited to a gathering that was held in Lake Jackson, Texas on Friday.
Moments after the teen arrived at the party, he was told that his car was damaged.
Cole was then allegedly attacked by one or more teens who he believed were his friends, KPRC-TV reports.
The footballer's brother Cory claims his sibling was hit from behind with a “blunt object”. The students allegedly left Cole lying on the ground.
Cole remains unconscious days after he was admitted to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston on Friday evening, according to reports.
The footballer suffered three different skull fractures.
Cory said: “We’re focusing on keeping him alive while he’s fighting for his life.
