COLUMBIA — Ridge View High School wide receiver Jordon Gidron will be sidelined for up to six weeks due to a meniscus tear, the junior announced on X (formerly Twitter) on Sep. 11.
"Hurt my knee during Friday's game, went to the doctor [on] Monday and found out I had a small tear in my meniscus," Gidron said on X. "[The] surgery was yesterday, and it was a success!"
Gidron suffered the tear in a marquee match-up between Ridge View and top-ranked Dutch Fork on Sep. 6. He caught two passes for 34 yards prior to the injury.
