    CORTLAND, Ohio (WKBN) – Lakeview Local Schools is praying for the recovery of an eighth-grade student.

    Around 200 people gathered for a candlelight vigil at the football field Saturday.

    It was for middle school student Frankie Placanica who suffered a head injury.

    It’s being described as a freak accident at track practice.

    The vigil was “to pray for Frankie and his family, in a sorrowful time but also a time where hope is life, that God can help him and pull the family through this,” Father Christopher Cicero, Frankie’s priest said.

    People could also sign a poster that read “Prayers for Frankie.”
