Redondo's Morin suffers a dislocated hip in her debut
Redondo's Elsa Morin made her debut at running back Friday night in the late moments of the 28-0 win over El Segundo.
Unfortunately, the senior, who has worked as team manager the last two seasons, went down with an injury on the play and was eventually taken to the hospital.
“It was definitely a sad ending to last night,” Redondo coach Keith Ellison said Saturday.
Ellison added that Morin ended up suffering a dislocated left hip. She was tackled for a 3-yard loss.
“She's doing OK,” Ellison said. “I talked to her this morning and she's in good spirits. We don't know the extent of the injury yet.”
“She's been the manager the last couple of years and when I took over, she came to me and talked about playing and we were looking for a chance to get her in the game.”
Ellison said Friday night that Morin “has done as much as everyone else on our football team since Day One, and she deserved to get out there.”
West Torrance vs. Bay League
The West Torrance nonleague schedule is five games against the Bay League. The Warriors opened with a loss against Culver City, but have defeated Santa Monica and Peninsula.
West has Mira Costa next week and concludes against Redondo.
“We have some great traditions with these schools, we know we're going to get their very best shot,” West coach Todd Butler said. “We want teams to test us. Last year we went 1-4 in nonleague, made the playoffs and I think that our nonleague schedule was a major part of that. We reupped the exact same schedule for the very same reason. We want to be ready to do some damage in the Pioneer League.”
