A possible torn ACL and/or MCL may seriously hamper two Coupeville High School sports teams.
The injury happened to Wolf junior Carson Risner during blocking drills at football practice Monday.
While fighting to hold his ground during a one-on-one encounter, Risner buckled and went to the ground hard.
He saw a doctor Wednesday and will follow up with an orthopedic appointment next week, said mom Jennie Prince. Risner will wear a brace and be on crutches until the swelling goes down enough for pictures to be taken by doctors.
If his injury is as severe as believed, it will cost the Wolves the services of their starting center and one of their most aggressive defensive linemen.
If he is out for any length of time, it will also affect the CHS boys’ basketball squad.
Risner provided a big body in the paint to go with Nick Streubel and Caleb Valko during his sophomore year, and often had a light touch around the hoop when rampaging on offense.
