Walking wounded: Falcons’ top-two quarterbacks injured in season-opening loss to South Callaway
9/1/2010
Fayette head coach Billy Huthman’s worst nightmare would have been more pleasant than what took place Friday night at South Callaway.
Before the end of the third quarter, Huthman had to use his third-string quarterback. Starting quarterback Roshawn Wilson suffered a leg injury in the first quarter. Backup quarterback Zach Cook suffered a broken collarbone in the third quarter.
Problem is, Huthman didn’t originally have a third-string quarterback ready to go. Instead, wide receiver Mavrick Frerking took the snaps for the rest of the game in Fayette’s 53-6 loss at Mokane.
