An impressive sophomore season ended on a sour note for South County (Lorton, VA) safety/wide receiver Ronny Vandyke , who suffered a dislocated shoulder in a playoff loss to Oakton. The 6-3, 196-pound prospect would dislocate the same shoulder again last May and again last August, two weeks into preseason practice. Vandyke, now a junior, sat out the 2009 season and eventually had surgery on the shoulder, which his doctor expects to be better than ever after rehabilitation.
South County head coach Pete Bendorf says Vandyke is now bench-pressing over 250 pounds and squatting 400. In three months, the talented rising senior should be able to resume full activities.
