Obviously there no where close to bein out of the woods, but thats a start in the right direction.

A community is united in prayer after two Somerset High School football players were rushed to the hospital in a car crash.

It happened in front of Meece Middle School on Kentucky 80 at Barnett Street right after the teens finished football practice.

17-year-old Will Hinton and 16-year-old Jacobi Gilmore were both airlifted to UK Hospital where their conditions have improved to seroius from critical.

In football, team is family, and Thursday night the Somerset High School football team is praying for two of their own.

"Our hope and prayers is that they're fine. Our team is together right now, and we're praying for them. We know they are going to be ok," says Head Coach Robbie Lucas.

The two teens were injured in a car crash as they were leaving football practice. Somerset Police say Hinton was making a left-hand turn onto Kentucky 80 from Barnett Street and drove into the path of a tractor-trailer. Both Hinton and Gilmore were airlifted to UK hospital with head trauma.

Somerset Police say it's possible the sun was blinding.

"One of the things we're going to look at is weather conditions," says Lt. Shannon Smith with the Somerset Police Department.

"No one really knew what happened at first," says George Gilmore. He is Jacobi Gilmore's cousin, and is a teammate of both teens. He says as a freshman, he looks up to Hinton, a senior.

"He's always trying to help others," says George Gilmore.

On and off the field, Will and Jacobi are inseperable. In tonight's prayer vigil, the community shows they are with the teens and their families in this time of need.

"Stay close to each other. Stay tight. Let the doctors do what they have to do and rely on each other," says Coach Lucas.

Those life lessons of teammwork and togetherness learned from football, are helping the teammates now. At the prayer vigil open to the community at 8 pm, players, coaches, and community members signed cards and posters for the teens.

The driver of the tractor-trailer was taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
