Carson Risner
The Wolves have the center of their line back. Maybe.
Making a fairly speedy recovery, Coupeville High School junior lineman Carson Risner returned to practice Wednesday for a few plays, completing one leg on his rebound from a badly hurt MCL suffered earlier in the season.
Risner has been cleared to play by his doctor, as long as he wears a brace. But, with the layoff and the continued healing, it’s uncertain how much he will play in the two remaining regular season games.
Coupeville travels to King’s this Friday, then hosts Sultan Nov. 1.
“He’s gonna try. Taking it slow,” said mom Jennie Prince. “That leg is a little weak from not using it and it ached a little at practice yesterday.”
Wolf coach Tony Maggio said he will carefully monitor the situation before deciding whether to put Risner back on the field in action, and any playing time will depend on the pain level and Risner’s mobility.
Still, either way, he will be back in uniform, which is a welcome sight for CHS fans.
