Statesman SR OL Max Janoff reportedly tore his ACL in practice last Sunday, effectively ending his season. While this is a disappointing blow, the Short Hills, NJ native is taking it in stride and his staying positive. Even if he can't see time on the field due to his knee injury, you can bet he'll do whatever else he can to help the team this season.
Janoff came to Hobart out of Morristown-Beard and has been a key contributor on the OL in the past three seasons. While not a captain or starter, he was a de facto team leader, rallying the team in what has become the Statesmen's pre-game ritual.
Please join me in wishing Max a speedy recovery.
In other news, Statesmen Offensive Coordinator Kevin DeWall reported that he is pleased with how this squad has looked to date, especially given so many "new faces on offense." As previously stated, there is a lot of competition for open QB, OL, RB, TE and WR starting and second string positions going into the 2013 season.
Hobart QB Coach Jonathan Drach indicated the offense "won" the intra squad scrimmage this morning by a score of 28-18 (@HobartFootball had 28-17 but you get the point, pun intended). To clarify, the defense is spotted a certain number of points which the offense has to match and/or surpass. Given the large number of starters back on defense, the offense "winning" the scrimmage is bad news for Statesmen opponents this fall.
More preseason news coming up next week. Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
