Tampa Bay Online reports:
It looks like the best girls soccer player in Pasco County won't be playing her junior season.
Last week, Wiregrass Ranch girls coach Erin Dodd said junior scoring sensation A.J. Blount
will probably scrap what's left of this season as not to re-injure her
right knee where she tore her MCL and ACL during a club-soccer game in
September.
"Her rehab is going great, progressing just fine, but it's not in the
best interest of anyone involved to bring her back just for it happen
all over again right after the fact," said Dodd, who coached the Bulls
to a region final appearance last season.
Blount, who has 68 goals, 18 assists, 109 shots and 154 points in two
seasons, would also need to play in four district games to be eligible
for the district tournament beginning Jan. 16, and even then, it's no
guarantee Wiregrass (5-3) will be one of the two region quarterfinal
teams.
"The adjustment (of not having Blount) for the girls has not been as
overwhelming as they thought, but every position has stepped up in her
absence," Dodd said. Click here to continue reading.
