My son injured his foot the 3rd game of his junior season.  Doctors recommended conservative treatment that went on for months it included walking boot and months of therapy.  We were told 1st week of June that the only way to fix his foot is surgery (2nd opinion from Vanderbilt confirmed surgery was needed).  Surgery is scheduled for next week.  Recovery time is 8 weeks in a wheel chair and 4 months after that before any contact would be allowed.  So, he missed 70% of his junior year and now he's going to miss his entire senior season.  Athletic director at our school said there is nothing that can be done.  He recommended a prep school for a 5th year of high school football.  He just turned 17 in April.  So age would not be an issue.

Is there any other way around this?  I feel terrible for him.  He's played football since he was 7 and you can imagine the heartbreak of not getting to play his junior or senior season.

Im so sorry.prayerfully he can heal and be a walk on in a jr.college...

Participation the previous calendar year isn't the only issue here.  The eight semester rule comes into effect.  Once a student enters ninth grade, they have an eight semester clock that starts to run.  It sounds like this year is this athlete's seventh and eighth semester, so his eligibility ends at the end of this school year.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..

    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
