He said that Maldonado underwent more tests yesterday to check for any numbness, but all test came back negative. (Read more about Maldonado's injury.)

Mater Dei football standout Christian Maldonado, who took a hard hit Friday in a Pac-5 Division playoff loss at Tesoro, has progressed but was expected to remain at Mission Hospital on Saturday night, Monarchs coach Bruce Rollinson said in an e-mail.

“He was held overnight (Friday) for observation,” Rollinson wrote. “Doctors are pleased with his progress.”

Rollinson said after the game that medical personnel thought that Maldonado suffered severe whiplash.

Christian Maldonado, an outstanding two-way football player for Mater Dei, was placed on a stretcher and taken to Mission Community Hospital after suffering a neck injury in the final minute of the Mater Dei-Tesoro game Friday night. Mater Dei coach Bruce Rollinson said there were many encouraging signs while Maldonado was being attended to, including no loss of consciousness, the ability to move all limbs, and a lessening of pain as time passed. Rollinson said the injury was very much like whiplash.

We will try to get an update on Maldonado, on Saturday.
