Springs QB possibly out for the season

St. Mary's Springs quarterback Mitchell Schneider aggravated a previously injured shoulder during Saturday's 26-14 loss to Verona at Fruth Field. Schneider was diving for a pass on defense when he landed awkwardly on his shoulder. He was removed from the game and coach Bob Hyland said afterward that he's probably done for the season.

It's a blow to a Springs team that was already inexperienced at the skill positions. What this does now is take away depth at other positions. John Kiefer is probably going to start at quarterback on Friday against WLA, meaning his split end spot will have to be filled by somebody else and so on.

Hyland said that he thought something like this may happen, so Springs was prepared for the worst. At least the big boys on the schedule are out of the way and Springs can face someone its own size (somewhat) in WLA.
