It’s a good news, bad news kind of thing.
Coupeville High School junior Carson Risner, who suffered an injury during football practice last week, was found to have a complete tear of his MCL Monday. That’s the bad news.
The good news is that the two-way lineman will not have to undergo surgery, said mom Jennie Prince. Doctors expect Risner to heal in 4-6 weeks while wearing a brace.
Then, things may get interesting. If he stays on track, the Wolves could get their starting center back in time for the stretch run of Cascade Conference games.
If not, the chances Risner will at least be healthy in time for the basketball and track seasons took a huge leap once it was determined that no surgery was needed.
