Springboro QB’s overcome injuries
There was concern at Springboro when starting quarterback Josh Little injured a shoulder.
When backup Jake Fall was lost to a concussion, it was all coach Ryan Wilhite could do to not hit the panic button.
“This year the injury bug bit us bad,” Wilhite said. “We didn’t go lighter, but we certainly didn’t go any harder.”
Neither Little nor Fall were available in last week’s scrimmage vs. Lakota West. Wilhite reluctantly inserted freshman QB Jenson Harris. All he did was win over the upperclassmen and firmly establish himself as the Panthers’ QB in waiting.
Since then both Little and Fall have returned to practice.
“It’s been a pleasant week of practice because we’ve got guys back,” Wilhite said.
“We’re not going in at 100 percent, but we feel a lot better where we’re at now than we did this time last week.”
The Panthers open the season Friday, Aug. 27 at Fairfield.

Jensen Harris is a player to watch. He is barely 14 and is 6’3”/210 lbs. Throws a long, accurate ball and is very elusive for any size QB.
