Nick Bosa is done for the year
- Thread starter Drummer61
- Start date
In addition to Bosa, starting quarterback Jake Allen — a junior and Florida commit — is out for the year because of a stress fracture in his lower back.
“There’s a lot of support, they’re with us in spirit,” Harriott said. “It’s only going to make us stronger.”
Senior running back Devontae Henry-Cole, who had surgery to repair a broken wrist, hasn't played since the team's win over Plantation on Sept. 11.
Bosa — a five-star recruit and Ohio State commit — anchors a defense that's giving up 13.5 points a game. He has 20 tackles, 13.5 tackles-for-loss and five sacks this season

Nick Bosa will miss the remainder of the season because of an unspecified knee ligament injury, St. Thomas Aquinas officials told the Sun Sentinel on Tuesday.
The senior defensive end suffered the injury during Friday's 37-13 win over Blanche Ely and was not at the team’s Tuesday practice.
While athletic director George Smith and coach Roger Harriott declined to detail the nature of the injury, Smith said he expects Bosa to “make a full recovery.”
Smith added doctors are evaluating whether Bosa will need surgery to repair the damage. “We have not gotten that far yet,” he said.
Bosa did not immediately respond to calls for comment, but wrote “Ready to get this recovery going” on Twitter.
The setback will likely be a significant loss for the Raiders, who enter the postseason looking to repeat as Class 7A state champions despite mounting injuries.

MEMBER SCHOOL INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
All member school principals must certify on the membership application that all of the coverage referenced below has been obtained,
and must also provide a certificate of coverage from their insurance carrier or broker for the catastrophic accident medical, catastrophic
disability and general liability coverage. The Board of Directors has established the following requirements with regard to insurance
coverage for member schools:
8.1 Athletic Medical Base Plan. Up to $25,000 limit is required for medical expenses for each participant
in interscholastic athletics sponsored, supervised and engaged by the school. The member school principal will be allowed to accept
certification from parents that the coverage is in place for the student-athlete on a family plan that meets this requirement. If the
student-athlete is not covered under his/her parents’ family plan, then the school must provide a plan for the student that will satisfy
these requirements. The student may purchase this plan individually or the school may purchase a blanket plan for all members of its
athletic teams. The principal must certify on the membership application that each student has the minimum coverage.
8.2 Athletic Catastrophic Accident Medical Plan. Minimum limits of $1,000,000 is required for
medical expenses for each participant in interscholastic athletics sponsored, supervised and engaged in by the school. This coverage
is to be in excess of the athletics base plan medical policy limits or the policy can include the base plan medical coverage within the
policy. The policy must provide no fault coverage.
8.3 Athletic Catastrophic Disability. Minimum limits of $500,000 is required for total disability of any
participant in interscholastic athletics sponsored, supervised and engaged in by the school. Structured pay-out benefits may vary.
Coverage must also include some limited benefits for partial disability. The policy must provide no fault coverage.
8.4 General Liability. A general liability plan with minimum limits of $1,000,000 is required.
Sounds like football makes the plan very costly. Between the size of the teams, the fact that many players will not have adequate individual coverage, and the inherent danger of the sport itself, I could see where smaller schools and those who's games are not well attended could actually lose money on this sport.
Or parents that claim their child is covered, when in fact they are not fully covered. Some kids wait a long time to receive adequate care. Have seem alot more injuries lately where the " let it heal on its own" option is used over being scoped. Is it a sign of the times in medical thinking or the cheaper ($$$) way to go.
