Washington (PA) star running back Shai McKenzie saw his stellar high school career come to premature end when he suffered a torn ACL in a 66-10 win over Charleroi on September 13, his team's third game of the 2013 season. The 6'0", 220-pound senior underwent surgery on September 20, and over a month later he is feeling good and on the right track recovery-wise.
"He's doing well," Washington head coach Mike Bosnic said. "He had the surgery done at UPMC Sports Medicine. It went real smooth. The surgeon said he is so strong and his bones are so strong that he had a hard time moving around to fix the ACL, but it went smooth. Shai's already moving around. Also, at our school we have a plan for him to graduate in December. He'll be able to get to college in January and he'll be able to rehab first-class."
