Bailes was originally injured Tuesday night in the Pulaski Hyundai Challenge Cup against North Laurel when he fell awkwardly on his neck and shoulders.
Bailes was taken to the hospital by ambulance. The team found out Thursday night that Bailes’ injury was a grade three concussion, the most severe type.
The MCSH girls soccer team may also be losing a key cog for the rest of the season after a 1-1 tie against Southwestern Thursday night.
According to assistant coach Chris Kehrt, Grant re-injured her knee during Thursday night’s game in the Pulaski Hyundai Challenge Cup and will be out for the rest of the season. Kehrt said Grant was playing with a partial tear in her ACL and that she further injured it when planting and turning on the field.
UK frosh linebacker Huzzie out for season
The University of Kentucky’s linebacker corps took a blow today, losing freshman linebacker Qua Huzzie for the season due to a shoulder injury. The team stated that Huzzie will have surgery soon on an unspecified shoulder ailment and will redshirt for this season.
Huzzie, the leading tackler for UK pipeline school LaGrange (Georgia) High School, was expected to be one of the first defenders off the bench for the Wildcats, but will instead be the first player sidelined for the season.
“It’s a tough thing for him,” Brooks said. “He was in a position it looked like he was going to play some this year and help us, so now he’ll have to take this as a redshirt year.”
Brooks had good thing to say about the other players that will sub in behind starters Sam Maxwell, Micah Johnson and newcomer Danny Trevathan.
“I feel fine about it,” Brooks said in reference to the team’s depth at linebacker. “We’re playing people on ability and a freshman that plays is not necessarily because there’s not a good player in the mix. Ronnie Sneed has had a great fall camp. We have Mikhail Mabry in there and he’s a very experienced and capable guy. Antonio Thomas is doing some very good things now, so all of our returning linebackers, plus our new ones, are in the mix.
“It’s a shame (that Huzzie is injured), I hate to have it happen, but I guess better now than in the fourth or fifth game when you couldn’t get a redshirt year back.”
