Didn't play and had to be stopped from trying to. I didn't want to reveal that he's been running stadium steps and lifting, but with all the Doom and Gloomers here, felt like this might ease concerns about the severity of the ACL injury. The Doctor said he could actually play again and have the surgery for the slight tear after the season, but Surgery is still scheduled for the 5th and he will not risk it.
It's killing him to not be playing, especially after seeing his team lose for the first time tonight, 7-6 and knowing that he would have made a big difference.

He's very fortunate that he is able to do what he can right now, but he will put more stress on other parts of his knee and damage it further. It's the right decision for a guy so young to get it done soon. Especially such a stubborn guy.....haha. The kid has some heart. It sounds like his rehab may be swift.

He shouldn't play the rest of the year. Why should he risk it? There is no reason to take a chance. I believe we get LF but right now he is our only running back commit in the last 2 years.

Surgery scheduled for 1pm today. Btw, the ACL was NOT partially torn as originally thought. It's stretched and will be repaired today.
Praying everything goes as planned!

I was the back judge for the Dutchtown game. Best HS game I've ever had the chance to officiate. Have a feeling game might've ended differently with his presence. Hope he has a speedy recovery.
