Milford Live reports:
Ashley Young was supposed to be a young phenomenon playing for
Milford’s girls’ basketball team. That was before she tore her ACL and
some of her meniscus.
It all happened during her sophomore year on Feb. 18, 2010. About six
games into the season as Milford battled rival Dover, Ashley nabbed a
first-quarter steal on broke loose for a fast break. While she went up
for a lay-up, a Dover player “bridged her,” or hit Ashley’s legs under
her, and she went down.
The injury proved severe. Young got surgery at Christiana Hospital on
her right knee and went to physical therapy two weeks after surgery at
Southern Delaware Physical Therapy.
“I was devastated when I learned I could not play basketball for six months,” said Young.
Finally, during her junior year, Young started off at open gym eager
to play. She failed to wear her brace and tore her right ACL a second
time. Young got surgery once again at the same hospital and started
going to physical therapy all over again.
“It was an emotional toll,” said Young, who still attended games and remained supportive though she couldn’t play.
